The glossy ibis reported earlier this week is still present. It was in a field just west of the Mad river, on the south side of concession road 2. This site is north of Angus. It cannot be accessed from Mckinnon road where it was previously reported but must be approached through Brentwood from the west. Access from Mckinnon road it not practical because the road is flooded.
Water levels on Mckinnon road are good, but no shorebirds were present aside from a couple peeps that landed way out in the the tall grass. Three trumpeter swans were there along with a family of hooded mergansers and a harrier.
