Thanks to Denis Lepage who found a "Lightner Road" in Ohio at Port Clinton, which is on Sandusky Bay. Also, the birds were originally reported to us by Ohio people, AND a check of the Ohio Rare Bird Alerts show that White-faced Ibis are being reported there. So for the time being Ontario birders can relax but still keep in mind that White-faced Ibis could appear again in the province this spring.
