Or an unrecorded human introduction??

But Glossy Ibis has a highly restrictive range in South America - common in Venezuela and Ecuador, and that's about it. Per Hilty, there were few records in Venezuela prior to 1950. AFAIK, there are no records at all from Brazil! So that theory seems highly unlikely. Colonization pretty clearly started in North America, not South.

Thanks for correction. Apologies for perpetuating misinformation!

This is from a pers com from a Spanish birder and I hope I'm telling it right.
I was told that some Glossy Ibis arrived in Bermuda for the winter and were initially thought to be from America but one (or more) were colour ringed and they were traced to the Coto Donana population. That was remarkable enough, but the what is even more remarkable is that they were back in Spain breeding the following spring - so colonisation of America via the North Atlantic can't be beyond the reals of possibility.

I have heard something similar about ringed birds from Spain being seen and or recovered as dead in the Lesser Antilles (including Barbados). I have not previously heard about them being back in Spain ...
A couple of years ago we had a major influx of Glossy Ibis that was noticeable even in Dominica, and I believe it was in that context that at least some of the stories appeared.
