62:1341990-05-06Sakatah Lake State ParkRice(vote 0-10). All ten members, including the three alternates, vote in the case of potential first state records. A White Ibis seen in good light at a range of 50 yards, as was the case here , should clearly show the red face, bill and legs; however, these were only described as "black or very dark." This species is also eliminated by the "narrow edge of black on all flight feathers;" on White Ibis black only appears on the tips of the few outermost primaries. Speculation was that this may have been an escaped Sacred Ibis (Threskiomis aethiopicus); this species not only fits the description , but also a Sacred Ibis was apparently reported about the same time not far from this location .

69:281996-09-211996-09-23near MinneiskaWabasha The main problem with this record is that a flock of 80-100 individuals was reported, and this fact alone strongly suggests the identification was in error. Also, both the bills and legs are described as “reddishyellow”, which would be inconsistent with White Ibis. Not Accepted
