A White-faced Ibis was found this morning by Adam Timpf along concession 2 west of Hwy 59 in Norfolk County on the north side of the road. It was in small wetlands on properties being restored by the Nature Conservancy of Canada - (42.6179940,-80.5418040).
The bird was last observed flying east about 1245. It likely settled in small wetlands on adjacent properties.
