3 White-faced Ibis, close to old HWY 30 in flooded sheep pasture.

Many other shorebirds that I have yet to check out.

The bird was seen by the ball diamonds on the west side of the park at 12:30.

I easily found it at 5:30 pm on the west side of the baseball diamonds, but it disappeared while I was looking at my phone.

The Ibis were still present at 6:30 PM and I'll admit something I never see people admit.  I flushed them trying to get a picture to verify for myself whether they were White-faced Ibis or Glossy Ibis.  They flew in circles overhead so I think they want to come back.  I got in my car and left to see if they would land, but they didn't land in the same spot while I was still there.  It still seems like to me they'll return, it seemed to be a nice spot to feed - there were at the very least 50 Lesser Yellowlegs and a variety of other birds.  I bet they'll be there in the morning.  

My pictures showed a red iris and gray bill so I'm confident they were White-faced Ibis.  Photo has been uploaded to eBird:  https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45386598
