| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Joe Schaufenbuel is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Larry Farmer. | Elimination of similar species: None of the herons or cranes has a curved beak, and none as far as I know exhibit the alternately flapping and gliding flight. | The original documentation form event lasted from 18:00:00/19:00:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Distance: The ibis were seen mostly in flight with the closest approach being possibly less than 100 feet, this distance is and [sic] estimation. Optical equipment: Bushnell custom 7 by 35 binoculars. Light: At the time of closest observation, the light was at it's best since the sun was one hour from setting. Sky had broken clouds, with the sun shining brightly. This first sighting had the birds in the West with sun in the N.W., the flight path of the Ibis took them directly overhead as they moved Eastward. An excellent view was afforded when birds were overhead. |
