All,

I found a Glossy Ibis in the flooded field leading into Clear Springs Ranch in El Paso County today (4/18/20). It was associating with about 2 doze White-faced Ibis. Several birders were present and will attach photos to eBird checklist. My back of camera pics are on the Colorado Rare Bird Alert FB group.

Good birding!

All,

The aforementioned Glossy Ibis may have some WFIB genetics in it. Take a look at my photos here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S67418983. Some photos show a slight pinkish tinge in the face. I have no experience with hybrid Ibis, so input is welcome!
