White Ibis migration arrives at Cape May Observatory
53 Counted so far this morning ...
The White Ibis total was 1 in 2018. The total in 2019 was 150. The total in 2020 was 280. The current total so far in 2021 is a gaudy 1,148. Jokingly, I set myself a goal of counting 1,000 White Ibis, a total I didn’t think was possible. Shockingly, the goal of 1,000 has already been surpassed and we still have almost a month left in the season!
White Ibis used to be a mega rare bird in Cape May but have become incredibly common. As I write this blog, White Ibis have been seen from the Cape May Hawkwatch platform 42 of the 65 days so far this season. That’s 65% of the days! I wonder how many will be counted next season!
