White Ibis–A New Breeding Bird in Alabama

Published in 1956

For the first time in the history of ornithology, the White Ibis, Guara alba, has been found nesting in Alabama. Although these birds have been known to breed
in north Florida for many years, no one interested in birds had ever reported seeing their nests in Alabama until May, 1956.
