sbruenjes 25 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 post Share on other sites

Connor Cochrane 2,639 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 post Share on other sites

Tony Leukering 2,550 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 post Share on other sites
Hasan 105 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Apologies, d'oh. Meant to say Glossy, typed White-faced. It's that one that lives in the east lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
