The glossy ibis was present at the Richmond Drive location at 8:00 AM and 2PM
today. He seems to have settled in to the marsh area for awhile.
To get to this area from the west, take highway 401 and exit at Power Dam
Dr. ( You can't exit Power Dam Dr. coming from the east.) Go south to the old
Highway #2 which is now called Vincent Massey Dr. At the stoplight turn right
(west) and drive approximately 1 mile to Richmond Dr. Go north on Richmond Dr.
and take a sharp left. At the bottom of the hill, is a walking path up to the
abandoned spur line. If you cross the railroad you have gone too far. Once you
reach the spur line turn left and walk the tracks to the marsh area. Please
stay on the tracks for your observations. The ibis has been in various
locations on the west side of the tracks.
Coming from the east, exit the 401 at Brookdale Ave. Go south over the 401
until you come to the first stoplight. Turn right on Tollgate Rd. Follow
Tollgate Rd. until you come to Vincent Massey Dr. Turn right (west) and proceed
to Richmond Dr. approximately 2 kilometers. Follow directions above. Bob
