Bernie Ladouceur and I had a very good view of the White-faced Ibis this
morning (Wednesday) at 7 a.m. near the east end of Rivington Street. The bird
was foraging in the shallow Carp River (creek) near the fallen dead (white)
tree on the edge of the creek south west of the east end of Rivington. We could
clearly see the pink facial skin, red eye, reddish looking knee joints,
silver/gray bill and overall paler (than Glossy) body.
Directions: From Ottawa take Hwy. 417 west to the Carp Road exit. and turn
right (north) and follow Carp Road to the village of Carp. After crossing the
bridge take the first right (east) on Rivington Street and follow to the end.
