Subject: [MDBirding] Review Status of White-faced Ibis
MD Birders:

Since we are just entering "the season," a quick reminder ... at our
2012 Annual Meeting (over a year ago), the MD/DC Records Committee
consider a proposal to remove White-faced Ibis from its Review List.
However, the committee decided to retain it on the list. Thus far,
the species has been seen almost exclusively in coastal Worcester
County and the issue of hybrid Glossy x White-faced Ibis loom larger
and larger.

So, White-faced Ibis in Maryland is still reviewable ... reports and
photos are welcome. Special attention should be paid to identifying
and eliminating potential hybrids.

Thanks.

Phil


PS. Two more Purple Finches (males) just showed up at our feeders.
