Drewesque Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Saw this flock from quite a ways away. Pretty certain they are White Ibis but seeking confirmation. Observed today June 13, 2020 in East Texas (Smith County). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Yes. White Ibis is correct. The white bodys, black wingtips, and down-curved beaks point to this species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The black in the wing tip is restricted to the outer five primaries. There aren't any other options given the birds' shape. All of the "big, white birds" have differing patterns of black and white in the flight feathers. Additionally, all of the "big, white birds" have differing flight styles. Very different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
