Hi everyone,

I tried for the White-faced Ibis yesterday afternoon and this morning and
came up empty. Yesterday, I tried twice, the first time I located
approximately seven Glossy Ibis, two in the pond, the rest in Newport Bay,
the second try yielded approximately 17 Glossy Ibis, all in Newport Bay
except for one. This morning there were 7 Glossy Ibis in Newport Bay.

Hope it returns,

> 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.

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.
