To follow up on Joe Hanfman's post, the immature WHITE IBIS 
was still present at Lost Lake when we left at 7:25 pm.  It 
remained on its perch preening and relaxing the whole time. 
At one point one of the immature YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS 
came in very close (< 10 ft), providing excellent views (too 
bad the light was fading for pictures).  Very tame.

Other good birds too -- here's my list submitted to eBird:

Green Heron  	1
Black-crowned Night-Heron 	1
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron 	3
White Ibis 	1
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 	1
Barred Owl 	1
Chimney Swift 	20
Red-bellied Woodpecker 	2
Eastern Wood-Pewee 	1
Great Crested Flycatcher 	1
American Crow 	3
Carolina Chickadee 	1
Tufted Titmouse 	1
Carolina Wren 	1
Wood Thrush 	1
Gray Catbird 	2
Northern Cardinal 	1
American Goldfinch 	1
