White-faced Ibis
Parker River NWR, 4/26/2005

Note the white feathering surrounding the face.
The amount of white feathering on the forehead makes this bird easier to pick
out from the Glossy Ibises. Also, note that the white extends around the eye.
In Glossy Ibises, the light feathering does not extend behind the eye.

Note the rather indistinct white margin to the face, and the red eye.

The reddish legs show up in this shot.

Thanks to Davis Noble for teasing this bird out from the flock of Glossies!
