Just a couple notes to add to posts by others. I was at Rankin Bottoms later
in the day and never did see the 3 White Ibis reported by Rick Knight and
others. I hung around until dusk hoping to see them fly in to roost in the
bottoms, but the egrets appear to now be roost at some site west of the
railroad tracks. I did get to see the Black-crowned Night-Herons coming into
the bottoms, though. Also, I waded across the mud to the gravel road and
walked back to the gated pond, but only found a Solitary Sandpiper for that
effort. The Laughing Gulls were on a small sandbar viewable from the boat ramp
at the south end of the bridge on 25E. A brief video of the Avocet through a
spotting scope at the link below (sorry for the shakiness and the litter in the
foreground):
