At 9am on May 5th-2018, Rhonda Schurian found a single White-faced Ibis on the sandbar at the mouth of Mission Creek in Kelowna. Young birder Kalin Ocana paddled up to it in a canoe at 11:30am for excellent photos, sadly it was flushed by kayakers at 6pm and others could not relocate it.
The bird allowed for up close photos and was viewed by several observers that day but was not relocated on May 6th.
This is the 43rd and 44th record of this species in the province of BC.
