Illinois Field Notes — 1962 
By Richard Hoger 
IT WAS A RARE treat in every sense of the word for the people that 
observed the Wilson’s Plover between May 16-26, 1962, on a small mudflat 
near Glencoe, Ill. Mrs. Bertha Huxford, Kenneth Anglemire, Miss Margaret 
Lehmann, Barbara Nobles, and others (along with Robert Russell, Jr., who 
sent in this report), were fortunate enough to view the bird. 
Mr. Russell also sent information about a Glossy Ibis spotted in a 
small cattail marsh east of Barrington, Ill., on October 20-21, 1962. The 
bird pleased viewers with its spectacular flight display over the country- 
Side.
