This bird was at South Point on 12 April. Later in the day a White-faced Ibis was photographed there by Mike Burchett, Betsy Bangert and Mark Hoffman. Groups of Ibis moving about the point all the time.
The hybrid showed White-faced features of extensive white feathering around the face, ruby eye, bronzy tertials contrasting with green coverts, and reddish leg joints. The Glossy feature was the distinct pale blue skin edging the top and bottom of the face. The one intermediate feature was the violet color of the bare facial skin. We found neither bird on 13 April.
