Greetings Ontbirders,
This morning at 9 a.m. Rory MacKay and I were driving into Presqu'ile
Provincial Park when a Plegadis (Glossy/White-faced) Ibis flew from
west to east over the main road, just past the gatehouse. The
distance and lighting prevented us from getting any detail about
facial skin and patterns so it remains unidentified, but hopefully
someone will relocate it and figure out which species is involved. It
was our impression that the bird was dropping down into the marsh, but
we searched from the Presqu'ile causeway, the Ontario St. boat launch
and from the high dune opposite Beach 1 access road but without
success. Having said that, it is a big marsh and the bird could
easily be in there feeding out of view.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
Presqu'ile is located south of Brighton, on the north shore of Lake
Ontario. Access to the park is well signed from Brighton.
