sbruenjes Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I saw this bird over the summer at a nature preserve in southern New Jersey. I had these as glossy ibis.. but is the first pic a white faced ibis? I didn't even realize that was a different breed at the time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 These are White-faced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This isn’t white faced. I’m pretty sure this is normal for a glossy, but maybe it could be a hybrid. The white border is incomplete, and the face is dark, not the pink your would expect of White-faced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The adult (first pic) is a classic Glossy Ibis, with no red on the legs or face. The three birds in the second pic are not strictly identifiable to species, since they're all juvs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Apologies, d'oh. Meant to say Glossy, typed White-faced. It's that one that lives in the east lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
