    Reading Bob's report, I rushed out to Coyote Hills this evening at  
    7pm.  From Lizard Rock Trail, I quickly spotted an Ibis on the west  
    side of the ponds near a lingering male NORTHERN PINTAIL.  Relaxing a  
    bit, I looked around at the rest of the birds in this very birdy pond  
    and found two more on the western edge further north.  Then a fourth  
    near the first.
    
    I took the scenic route back to the parking lot passing by the tree  
    swallow boxes on the DUST trail.  At the intersection of the Chochenyo  
    trail, I stumbled across three more Ibis.  Thinking they were just  
    messing with me, I quickly retreated back to Lizard Rock trail and  
    verified the first four were still there.
    
    Total SEVEN WHITE FACED IBIS:
    Four at the west edge of the North Marsh visible from the Lizard Rock  
    Trail.
    Three next to the Chochenyo Trail in the Main Marsh next to the short  
    path connecting to the DUST trail.
    
    There may be more: I had no further time to explore.
