smittyone@cox.net Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Seen late yesterday afternoon at Loess Bluffs NWR in NW Missouri. Are these White-faced or Glossy Ibis? Although White-faced are more common there, both kinds have been seen (and verified) there before. Pics are heavily cropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I see white on the leftmost bird, but I don't know about immature or non-breeding plumages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyone@cox.net Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I believe when these guys migrate through Loess Bluffs NWR, they generally are immature and/or in non-breeding plumage. That makes identifying them with any certainty a challenge. To add to that challenge, they're rarely close enough to capture decent images (in my case anyway).

pictaker Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Eyes look red to me,but that could be a trick of the light, if they are red,then they are white faced... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
