I have posted several shots of the White-faced Ibis currently being seen in Lake Co. None of these shots are magazine quality by any means, but a couple do show the red eye, or that's the impression I get on my monitor anyway. The 2nd photo in particular shows the red eye. Several photos show the brightness and extent of the gloss, and no hint of the facial pattern of Glossy that should be showing on even a young Glossy by now. The obvious red eye, in person anyway, combined with no hint of the facial pattern of Glossy, should rule out the hybrid or intermediate factor. Anyway, the photos are in the following gallery: http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/reelfoot_ibis Or, the following link will take you to the 1st photo, http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/image/70165552 and then the 'previous' or 'next' tab will let you navigate among photos. I welcome any comments about the bird. Good Birding!!
