The flock of 11 ibis reported yesterday by Ron Ridout is still in the same general area this morning.
When I left there, shortly before 9 am, the birds were in the freshly ploughed field behind the same farm. Follow Ron's directions (see below) and continue past both houses & turn right on the West Quarter Line Road. The birds were working the mud just past the back driveway into the farm. Take Highway 59 south towards Long Point. The A Concession is the first road on the right south of the 1st Concession (still about 2 km north of the Long Point causeway). Travel west on the A Concession down through the Big Creek valley and continue west towards the hamlet of Erieview which about 1 km. west of Big Creek. Just before Erieview, you will leave behind the weedy ditches on both sides of the road and come to a somewhat neatly mowed roadside ditch filled with water on the north side. When I left the area it was pouring rain. This did not seem to be affecting the birds in any way as they were busy feeding. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
