Darren Clark -- Accept

Well-written description eliminates White-faced Ibis. Key features Cliff notes are the eye color and description of where the blue line was on the face.

Excellent description of face and eye color. Season is right for breeding plumage and soft part color.

Although Cliff wasn't able to view and describe the ibis's legs, he makes a compelling and convincing case for his identification. Well done!

Report describes diagnostic fieldmarks of adult in alternate plumage. Timing fits other state records.

Charles Swift -- Accept

Excellent description and identification of Glossy vs. White-faced very well described. (btw Why are we so biased against hybrids and isn't it worth recording them as well? They represent interesting phenomena, in this case providing additional evidence for a species expanding range.)
