As of 11:00 today, the Glossy Ibis was still at Hains Point.  It was
loitering along the water's edge opposite the entrance to the Golf Course.
Surprisingly, the park police had not yet asked it to move along...

Among the Ibis's fellow loiterers were Mallards, a Greater Black-backed
Gull, and other sundry hangers on... including a number of Laughing Gulls
and Starlings.

A note of warning -- while checking out the golf course for the Ibis, I
leaned on the fence to steady my Binocs.  This did not sit well with the
resident hornets however, who quickly expressed to me their displeasure.
So, be careful along the fence there.
