[Ontbirds] Plegadis Ibis in Windsor

[David McNorton]

This afternoon, David D'Hondt reported a Glossy Ibis on Banwell Road in 
Windsor.   At approximately 6 pm, I went out to look for the bird and 
got to see it in binoculars and also to photograph it from a hand-held 
digital camera.   My first impression on seeing the bird's head was that 
this was a White-faced Ibis.   The bird has a red face, starting at its 
eye, surrounded by a white band.   It also has a grey bill and seemingly 
"hot-pink" legs.  

I have some rather poor quality photos of the bird that I'd like to post 
somewhere, just in case nobody else gets to see the bird.   If anyone 
has a site where my photos can be posted, please send me an e-mail. 

To repeat David's directions, the bird is on the east side of Banwell 
Road, about 100 m north of Essex Road 42.   Banwell Road is very narrow 
and has a ditch on each side, so the use of four-way flashers is highly 
advised.
