Greetings - 

Just took a look at some of Dave Slager's photos of the Franklin county ibis group of 3. One of these birds is an immature White-faced Ibis, showing pale dusky pink facial skin and a brilliant red eye. At least one of the other immature birds is an immature Glossy Ibis, with pale bluish gray facial skin and a dark eye. It's tricky to figure out which is the third bird. But there are clearly both species present (individuals one and two). If photos of all three individuals were labeled clearly we could see what the third bird might be. Excellent records.
