I also failed to locate the ibis today - I was there around 11:00 and again
around 3:00. Nada.

Although it was a gorgeous day, the birding was a bit thin. I did note the
following however:

A RUFFED GROUSE flew across SR105 a bit west of Chehalis.

There were at least 3 WESTERN SCRUB-JAY in Pe Ell.

There were several WESTERN MEADOWLARK at the Raymond airport.

There were at least two BARN SWALLOWS in Tokeland.

Also at Tokeland were the usual flock of WILLET and MARBLED GODWIT, but they
were on the shore right under the marina pier! I was able to get within 20
feet for photos and back away without flushing them.
