Hi, I found two plegadis ibis at West Toqua Lake near Graceville in Big Stone County on Saturday afternoon, the 18th. They were a few hundred yards north of the south end of the lake. I had them in the scope for about five seconds at two hundred yards, but then they flew, and I was unable to relocate them. When they took off, they came straight at me, then veered over the cemetery marked on p. 92 of Kim Eckerts guide. It seems extremely unlikely that they were anything but White-faced, especially given the comparative proximity of this site to Sand Lake, South Dakota, but I was unable to examine the birds closely.
