(One unconfirmed record for eastern Canada [see text]). December 1984. does not report the Glossy Ibis as occurring in the western provinces. DeSante and Pyle (1986) reached a simiUar conclusion with one exception. Saskatchewan, where they considered this species as an extremely rare vagrant. There are nine Glossy Ibis reports from the prairie provinces. Of these, one is confirmed for Manitoba (Gollop 1989: Koes 1991). whereas another, reported as a Glossy Ibis near Langruth. Manitoba (Gardner 1972, 1981; Houston 1972). could be identified only as an ibis sp. (A. J. Macaulay. personal communication). In Saskatchewan, where the Glossy Ibis has been reported six times, the species" occurrence is consid- ered to be hypothetical (Kreba 1990). This species is not hsted for Alberta (Ealey 1992), although there is one unconfirmed report of five at Stirling Lake (Schuler 1977). The Glossy Ibis is not listed for British Columbia (Campbell et al. 1990). We recog- nize that some observ^ers assume that ibises seen in known or plausible White-faced Ibis" range are attributable to this expected species and report sight- ings as such. Unidentified ibises (see Schuler 1977: Gollop 1986: Koes and Taylor 1992b: Smith and Adam in press) in the prairies could be either of these two species: however, the probability is greater that they are White-faced Ibises than Glossy Ibises. Prior to 1982, data from field observations, on at least five occasions, suggested that the White-faced Ibis might
