Even though there were only three of us (Dick Fogle, Marcia Johnson and Donna Smith leader), it was a beautiful day for birding at Tres Rios. Along the river we observed several hundred White-Faced Ibis roosting in the trees. They flew off as the sun warmed them. There were quite a few ducks still along the river on the way in - lots of Shovelers and Ruddy Ducks. All in all we had a good day as we saw or heard 52 species.
