I finally caught up with the juvenile White Ibis at Merkle this afternoon.  It 
walked into view at the pond just behind the visitor's center about ten 
minutes after I arrived .  I watched the bird from a little after two until around 
two-thirty.  Also feeding at the pond were two Great Egrets, 1 Great Blue 
Heron, several Least Sandpipers, several Killdeer, and 1 Spotted Sandpiper.  I 
saw 1 juvenile Little Blue Heron at the pond to the left.
