White-Faced Ibis
Plegadis chihi
Though this bird is not closely related, it has the look of a rail. Where true rails are secretive, ibises are gregarious. We often find them gathered in large groups. The northern population of White-Faced Ibis is migratory and breeds in western USA north into Idaho and Montana. This population will spend winters in Southwestern USA and Mexico.
There is also a South American population resident across the southeastern sections of that continent. Despite the isolation of the two groups, science views the White-Faced Ibis as monotypic, meaning there are no recognised subspecies.
It’s easy to confuse the White-Faced Ibis with the Glossy Ibis. Variations in lighting can prism differing coloration from their feathers. While it may be difficult to see, the White-Faced Ibis has reddish eyes, where the Glossy Ibis has dark, brownish eyes.
I’ve met the White-Faced Ibis in a wide range of locations throughout the western USA and on the Gulf Coast of Texas. A special memory for me was meeting these birds on an island (Isla Clarion), 600 miles off the coast of Colima (Mexico).

White-Faced Ibis(Plegadis chihi) |
|
Description: This bird caught a snack. When first I sat down to shoot these ibis feeding in the shallows, they were too far for good shots. I remained still, and the flock moved closer. I finally got my chance to visit Santa Ana National Wildlife Reserve this Sunday. I’ve wanted to explore there since my first trip to Texas in the Spring of 2020, but with the global pandemic, it was one of several locations that shut their doors to all visitors while I was here last spring. |
