Observation details
I spotted a glossy greenish back projecting slightly from behind a berm perhaps 100m distant. This struck me as odd so I watched the bird, hoping for it to lift its head. When it eventually does, I see a greyish neck and long, decurved bill!! Ibis! I strained my eyes to try and discern the subtle facial markings that would differentiate White-faced from Glossy. Shortly thereafter I found out from others that a White-faced Ibis is known to hang around at Hanalei, and refuge staff confirmed it's been around for at least 4 or 5 months.
