HamRHead Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) I should have mentioned field marks for White-faced Ibis--red eye, pink facial skin, and rhubarb-colored legs. Edit: Also gray bill. Edited September 30, 2018 by HamRHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the bird is sporting a fairly red eye, that feature, alone, does not rule out another option, one that many birders ignore or of which they are ignorant -- hybrids. I would not claim this bird to species, even in Nevada; it's just too young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
