Ibis Still at Wastewater on Friday


Marc Miedema, one of the two observers of the Ibis posted below, sends this photo taken on Wednesday.  He apologized unnecessarily for the quality of the photo taken with his phone; I think this image may be good enough for someone who knows these birds to tell us whether it's a glossy or white-faced.  If you can, please post your comment here.  Thanks.



Meanwhile Dave Elbrecht phoned to say an Ibis (presumably the same bird) was in the Wastewater rapid filtration lagoons near B-10 this afternoon.

This is a White-faced Ibis, as evidenced by the pink facial skin, red eye, white eye feathering extending behind the eye, and the red legs. Great find Dave!
