Re: Ibis help

Hi Ken,

I looked at your photos and I’m just not sure you can ID this
individual with any confidence. I can’t see any white streaking on
the head so I’m guessing this is a juvenile. I can see a hint of
the pale facial lines of Glossy but White-faced also show this
pattern on juveniles.The iris doesn’t necessarily turn red until
later in winter so that isn’t useful on this individual. I guess
I’d have to say this is a plegadis sp. unless I’m missing
something???

I saw and photographed this Ibis at Camas Centennial Marsh on
Sunday, Oct 25. Through the scope, I saw dark eyes and dark
legs. No coloration on the face so I’m assuming a juvenile of
whatever it is. Glossy or White-faced?  One Pic attached and
many more here….https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17EIcmcpVAdy0aCYQk8x1zpyW9aLUYeIE
