I happened to see Roger Newell yesterday. He had looked unsuccessfully for the ibis (reported below).
This morning I walked around Flahive Park (East Grand River Park) in Grand Haven for a half hour finding 19 species (the usual summer breeders).
Then I drove down to Hofma Preserve for a Sedge Wren (found two, Year Bird #166 if I were counting). Other birds of note among the 24 species were a juvenile hawk (Red-tailed? Red-shouldered? squeak-crying from the woods near the parking lot), Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Veery.
