The OBRC would like to establish the correct dates for the two White-faced Ibis at Big Creek Marsh (Amherstburg) this past spring, which will be treated as two separate records.
The information below is probably correct, the only real question is: Was the immature (one-year-old) bird seen after May 9? BIRD #1 (apparently a first-year immature): April 27 to May 9 -- found by R. James Frith, Jenny Brown BIRD #2 (alternate adult): May 8 to May 13 -- found by Lev A. Frid, Kyle E. Holloway Thus there were only two days (May 8-9) when two birds were present. If anyone saw two birds after May 9, please e-mail me privately with the information. (Reports of ibis much closer to Windsor are not considered related to these sightings.) thanks, Alan Wormington Assistant to OBRC Secretary ____________________________________________________________ Mortgage Rates Hit 3.25% If you owe under $729k you probably qualify for Obama's Refi Program http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4cb716223fa012e506m07duc _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
