May 2005, Big Stone N.W.R., Lac Qui Parle

County (record #2006-011, vote 6–1 for

one adult as White-faced Ibis, vote 7–0 for

second adult as Plegadis ibis, sp.).

• White-faced Ibis, 21–22 April 2006,

near Bellingham, Lac Qui Parle County

(record #2006-037, vote 5–2).

Though seen by many observers, no

one provided written documentation; two

members found the single photograph in-

conclusive with respect to hybrid ibis.

• White-faced Ibis, 22 April 2006, Car-

los Avery W.M.A., Anoka County (record

#2006-035, vote 5–2).

Though supported by written details

and a digital image that clearly showed a

white facial-skin border, poor lighting pre-

cluded definitive views of all field marks;

two members concluded that a hybrid ibis

could not be eliminated.

• White-faced Ibis, 1–2 May 2006,

Copeland W.M.A., Western Township, Ot-

ter Tail County (record #2006-039, vote

6–1).

• Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), 25 De-

cember 2005 – 25 March 2006, various

locations near Hastings, Dakota County

(record #2005-084, vote 7–0).

This adult gray morph was seen and

photographed by many observers, and

was probably a returning individual from

the previous winter.

• Gyrfalcon, 29 December 2005, Park

Point, Duluth, St. Louis County (record

#2005-085, vote 7–0).

• Gyrfalcon, 21–28 January 2006, Park

Point, Duluth, St. Louis County (record

#2006-002, vote 7–0).

This juvenile was simultaneously found

by an observer standing at the Park Point

Recreation Area in Duluth and a group of

observers standing on Barkers Island in

Superior; the bird was on the ice between

these two locations and eventually flew

over the observer on Park Point.

• Gyrfalcon, 23 January – 2 March

2006, Port Terminal, Duluth, St. Louis

County (record #2006-003, vote 7–0).

Though not documented during the 25

days between 29 December 2005 and 23

January 2006, this adult was probably the

same individual as record #2005-085.

• Gyrfalcon, 6 February 2006, Walter

Township, Lac Qui Parle County (record

#2006-030, vote 7–0).

This juvenile gray morph was well-de-

scribed and photographed.
