It might be safer to call this bird a Plegadis Ibis but the bird was
present till at least 9am Saturday. I saw enough - red eyes and golden
wings (sort of) to call it a White-faced Ibis.
Sheldon's Directions:
It is best to park in the front of the hydro utility station on Olympic
Drive (near the intersection with Cootes Drive) in Dundas. To reach the
pond follow the north side of the Desjardins Canal on the east side of
the road.
There is a small trail that leads through a dense stand of Phragmites
grass for 200 - 300 m. You then reach the medium sided pond where the
bird was seen.
