Mark Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 This was take at Choke Canyon Lake State Park here in Texas which is about an hour south of San Antonio on 11 March. I'm still working on getting my water fowl identification skills down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Probably White-faced Ibis, but neither Glossy Ibis nor a hybrid betwixt the two can be ruled out from these pix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivalis Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think this is a glossy because you can see the shine on its back, but that may just be lighting so there really is no way to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalarope713 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've never heard of back shine as being an ID feature for separating ibis. This is almost certainly a White-faced based off of bar charts for the area, but I agree with Tony that a positive identification cannot be made from these photos alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
