The documentation form by Barbara L. WIison is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: That large, dark with decurved bill it must be a Glossy or White-faced Ibis. Complete, wide white stripe around the face indicates White-faced. Perhaps soft-parts color tells too but I don't know. | The original documentation form event lasted from 06:30:00/07:00:00.
