Dr. Avery’s original notes show that he took one of 
these birds at Cocke’s Pond, five miles west of Greens- 
boro, July 26, 1891, though unfortunately the specimen 
is not now in the collection. He writes: ‘This bird has 
been seen several times but never collected till this speci- 
men and hence never with certainty identified. When it 
was seen some years ago at Cocke’s Pond it was then sup- 
posed to be the wood stork or ibis.” His supposition 
seems to have been correct.
