Glossy-like Ibis

Clay County Wetland #78, Eastern Rainwater Basin

21-22 May 2004

This would be the RWB and Nebraska's 4th record, but some features on the bird (bill, leg, facial coloration) suggest that it may not be a pure bird.  Hybridization between Plegadis ibis has been recently documented on the Great Plains, thus this bird may be an introgressant.
