As reported by R.Pye

Whitby Harbour: (Sat) White Ibis- 1 (juvenile)
It was found at 11 AM and flew off eastward at noon
report from D Kaczynski
It was photographed later in the day by J Noordman but
I don't know what time that was.It was not found on Sunday.
R Pye   :shock:

I saw this bird on Saturday mooring around 10:30 am but it was facing away from me at the time , and I wrought it off as a Juv. GBH  :oops:  So lesson learned even if you haven’t bin to bed for 19h pay good attention will birding and it will pay off   :cry:

I was there this AM, and the Ibis was no where to be found.

I heard of a White Ibis that just showed up near Amherstburg, but there is no way of telling if it is the same one or not.  Although, I would guess that it is likely the same bird.

Bruce just posted this on ONTbirds Oct 6 2009



At 11:30a.m. this morning I saw a juvenile WHITE IBIS fly over my head by the lighthouse at Prince Edward Point.  It flew in off the lake from the east and was heading west along the shoreline.  I checked many shoreline spots between Prince Edward and Sandbanks P.P. but could not relocate it.
    Prince Edward Point had some good bird movement today.  Most common species were YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, HERMIT THRUSH, both KINGLETS, EASTERN PHOEBE, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW and DARK-EYED JUNCO.  Notables include 3 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, 500 TURKEY VULTURES (half at Sandbanks), 5 MERLIN, 1 RED-EYED VIREO, 2 COMMON RAVEN, 2 MARSH WREN, 1 HOUSE WREN, 7 warbler species including 1 ORANGE-CROWNED, 1 BLACKPOLL, 1 AMERICAN REDSTART, 1 NASHVILLE & 1 PALM and 3 EASTERN TOWHEES.

Good Birding
