I've just fornd (and photographed) an adult White-faced Ibis in the South Point area of Worcester County.  The bird is feeding with a loose group of 40 of so glossies on the lawns of the Indian Creek subdivision, which also has a bunch of ponds some of the birds are in. I was fortunate, as the flock with the white-faced was right by the side of the road and I was able to drift my car downhill to be almost on top of them.

From the intersection of South Point Road and Route 611 go south for several miles.  After road to OC golf on right, take next right  Newport Bay Drive.  Stay straight into Indian Creek estates.  It makes a couple bends, the area the white-face in was opposite lot 7. Bird flew, but bunch of ibis still in area.
