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.
