Jeff Wilson emailed me last night and said a Immature White-faced Ibis was at 
the Pits. Early this morn he called me and it was still there.

During my late lunch hour I tracked it down, it was still there and at 230pm it 
was slowly moving south along the west shoreline of the flooded grassy field as 
it fed in and out of the high grass.
Got some pictures, long distance though.

The many shorebirds present Sat-Tues were gone today except for the 
Black-necked Stilts which are still nesting up. 
14 black-bellied Wh Ducks on a short run through the complex.
