The video clip shows 200+ Plegadis ibis flying from one side of the field to the other where more ibis are feeding. The video is best seen in full screen view (click on the 4 arrows in lower right corner of screen) I have now gone through all the pics of ibis that I posted as Glossies. The 3 birds I identified as Glossy Ibis below (in post labeled 'Better pics of Glossy Ibis' and 'Two Glossy Ibises feeding near each other) all have blue facial lines that do not invade behind the eye. I believe that at least these 3 birds in the flocks I saw are Glossy Ibises though there ...

This photo shows much,though not all, of the Plegadis ibis in this one large agricultural field in Florence in which there were 300-400 ibis (to the far left there was a tight group of ibis that look like black dots in this pic so double click on pic to enlarge it and click it again, then look for more birds in far left corner) that was in addition to the first flock of over a hundred that I found. I was unable to check these ibis for additional Glossy Ibis that I found in that other flock. Awesome numbers! SeEtta .
