| 70:156 | 1998-05-16 | Grover's L. | Jackson | (record #98-50, vote 2-5). Although this flock of seven individuals was unanimously accepted as Plegadis, and though it is likely all seven individuals were White-faced, the majority felt the documentation is not complete enough to indicate this. The only thing in the description indicating White-faced Ibis specifically is “the lighter area on the face”; however, it was felt such a description is too brief and vague, and it is unclear how many ibis faces were seen and were being described. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 74:36 | 2001-04-15 | near Rochester | Olmsted | (record #2001-45, vote 2-5). It was unanimously agreed that the digital photograph shows a Plegadis ibis. The photo also seems to show reddish color on the facial skin, but such color does not appear on the eye, and it does appear in places elsewhere in the plumage where no red should be. Since the observer could actually see no color on the facial skin, it was thought the reddish color was an artifact of the camera or computer. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 17 | 74:36 | 2001-04-26 | Spring Lake Township | Scott | (record #2001-40, vote 7-0). Accepted on the basis of the bird's red iris and the white feathering beginning to show around the base of the bill. | Accepted | |||

| 18 | 74:36 | 2001-06-19 | near Dexter | Mower | (record #2001-38, vote 7-0). A photo of the individual confirms the identification as a White-faced. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2001-06-19 | Mower | 6/19 Mower (first county record) First summer record since 1990 (there have been three summer Plegadis sp. reports during the interim). Single bird photographed 6/19 Mower (about 20 miles east of Austin) JEM, †RNS et al. | ||||||
| 19 | 74:161 | 2002-04-17 | near Rochester | Olmsted | (record #2002-32, vote 6-1: three individuals accepted as Whitefaced, and the other five accepted as Plegadis ibis). Although these ibis were seen by many observers, only one of them provided documentation. While it is likely all eight birds were White-faced, the lone description received refers to “white around the eyes” on only three of the individuals. Accordingly, only these could be accepted as White-faced Ibis, with the other five accepted as unidentified Plegadis ibis. | Accepted | |||

| 75:160 | 2002-09-04 | Tyler WMA | Lincoln | (record #2003-16, vote 3-4 as White-faced / vote 7-0 as Plegadis ibis, sp.). The identification as a White-faced was probably correct, and this was unanimously accepted as a Plegadis ibis, but there was an eight-month delay before a description was provided. With apparently no field notes written at the time of the observation, the concern is how accurate a description can be when based only on memory after a long period. Additionally, this identification as a Whitefaced rests primarily on eye color alone, and, as mentioned under the accepted ibis records above, a narrow majority felt that the possibility of a hybrid ibis is not precluded in the description. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 25 | 75:160 | 2002-09-11 | Mud Lake | Traverse | (record #2003-03, vote 6-1). | Accepted | |||

| 26 | 76:39 | 2003-05-17 | 2003-05-19 | Cottonwood | Lyon | (record #2003-25, vote 5-2). Those not accepting this record were concerned that the possibility of hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis is not precluded in the documentation (see North American Birds 57:136-139). | Accepted | ||
| 27 | 75:160 | 2003-06-01 | Luverne | Rock | (record #2003-31, vote 6-1). These three records of this now nearRegular species all include descriptions of red eye color, reddish facial skin, and/or white feathering around the bill and eyes. Note that hybrid Glossy x White-faced Ibis have been recently documented in Oklahoma (North American Birds 57:136-139), which may complicate the identification and documentation of ibis seen in Min*Acceptable* low). However, it is not presently known how likely or unlikely it is for presumed hybrids to occur anywhere, nor is it yet known what range of variation such ibis can exhibit with regard to eye color, facial skin color, and white facial feathering. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2003-06-01 | Rock | 6/1 Rock (first county record) Documented 6/1 Rock (5 adults at Luverne) RMD, †KRE et al. and 6/15 Big Stone (2 in Toqua Twp.) †PCC. | ||||||
| 28 | 76:39 | 2003-06-15 | Toqua Township | Big Stone | (record #2003-47, vote 7-0). The thorough description here was complete enough to preclude the possibility of hybrids. | Accepted | |||
| 76:39 | 2003-09-15 | Pilot Grove Waterfowl Production Area | Faribault | (record #2003-81, Not Accepted 3-4 as White-faced Ibis / Accepted 7-0 as Plegadis ibis, sp.). Although this was unanimously Accepted as a Plegadis ibis, the majority felt the description is not detailed enough to preclude the small possibility of a hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis (see North American Birds 57:136-139). | Not Accepted | ||||
| 29 | 76:152 | 2004-04-16 | Lake Byllesby | Dakota | (record #2004-009, vote 7-0). Independently prepared, written details from two observers noted this bird's red eyes, pink or reddish facial skin, and white feathering surrounding its bare facial skin, thus eliminating the possibility of Glossy Ibis or hybrids thereof. Like the next three records, it was an adult ibis in alternate plumage and was photographed. | Accepted | |||

Though unanimously Accepted as a Plegadis ibis, the written description and distant photographs eliminated neither Glossy Ibis nor hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis (see North American Birds 57:136-139). Documentation from other observers might have addressed these identification challenges, but only one of the observers submitted details. | Not Accepted | ||||

Though ultimately accepted as Plegadis ibises, these 13 birds were observed from a distance that most Committee members considered too far away for critical evaluation of potential hybrid characteristics. Field notes and sketches were submitted for each bird, but for none of them were both the facial skin and iris color described (see North American Birds 57:136-139). | Not Accepted | ||||
