I visited the Klamath National Wildlife Refuge yesterday for the first time and was amazed at the many species of birds. This one stumped me. It was not listed and is obviously a shore bird. I have not been able to find it in any of the Oregon bird lists. These bird where in large flocks. Would love to see if anyone on UHH can tell me what it is.
This bird is a white faced ibis - can be mistaken for the glossy Ibis but you will notice that it has a red face whereas the glossy has a bluish face.

These are White-faced Ibisis. Note the grey bill, the red eyes and the white feathers on the face. The red legs indicate that this is a bird in breeding plumage. Their summer range includes the southeastern portion of Oregon.
Your photos are terrific, thanks for sharing.

I agree that you have a White-Faced Ibis, but in any event, your first photo really sets off their beautiful colors.
