Being too busy to make it over the weekend, I decided to take the trip today. 
 I sat near the canal at the beginning of Raymond Pool where the Little Egret 
had frequently been seen.  After about a half hour the egret came walking 
down a small canal on the impoundment side towards the gate.  I didn't mind 
the wait considering I found a Reeve while I was waiting.  The bird only 
stayed a few minutes then took off flying into the extensive marsh.  After 
searching through the Ibis flock at the south end of Raymond pool and finding 
all Glossies, I went to the north end, where the third one I looked at was a 
White-faced.  3 Lifers before 11am!  Afterwards I did the rest of the loop 
and did not finding much of interest, just the usual things.  I came back to 
Raymond before leaving to try and relocate the 3 birds, but I could only find 
the ibis.  Still a great day.
