At about 4:30 today, Fri, an ibis sitting with 2 snowy egrets on the
telephone wire above the creek at the end of Walnut Lane. 20 mins later circled over the S-bend in the creek along with (presumably the same) 2 egrets. It had 2 small white patches/tufts on its head. Does this tell you anything about id? Presumably it is wh-faced, but I can't tell. Bill Murdoch

same area on Atascadero Creek (near the s-curve) with one Snowy Egret. I didn't notice any white tufts on the head, but could see a very faint eye marking, though it was barely visible. The two birds stuck together, moving up and down the creek feeding. I would say White-faced Ibis; according to Peterson, immature and winter adults lack bright eye mark, and winter adults often have white speckling about the head.
