Being too busy to make it over the weekend, I decided to take the trip today.
I sat near the canal at the beginning of Raymond Pool where the Little Egret
had frequently been seen. After about a half hour the egret came walking
down a small canal on the impoundment side towards the gate. I didn't mind
the wait considering I found a Reeve while I was waiting. The bird only
stayed a few minutes then took off flying into the extensive marsh. After
searching through the Ibis flock at the south end of Raymond pool and finding
all Glossies, I went to the north end, where the third one I looked at was a
White-faced. 3 Lifers before 11am! Afterwards I did the rest of the loop
and did not finding much of interest, just the usual things. I came back to
Raymond before leaving to try and relocate the 3 birds, but I could only find
the ibis. Still a great day.
