possible White-faced Ibis
Species: possible White-faced Ibis
Photographer: James K. Pope
Date: 12 April 2012
Location: Fresh Field Farm, Kiawah Island, SC
The bird "seemed to have a large amount of white on the face with a color around the eye that made the white stand out" and James identified it as a White-faced Ibis.
There is no previous record of White-faced Ibis in South Carolina. The South Carolina Bird Records Committee subsequently reviewed this report, concluding that although the blurry photograph was suggestive of White-faced Ibis, the evidence did not meet the standard needed to establish a first state record.
