The Ottawa Wildlife Drive is only open on weekends now.  The White Ibis was only seen on Sunday in the very early am and flying later in the afternoon but not found by me or many others who searched during the day in many areas of the drive and Howard and Metzger yesterday.  The Wood Stork was a great bonus bird and was not the same one that has been in Castalia. Studying the alerts on eBird’s for future sightings is the best bet for everyone. Happy birding!   Betsy
