Ken:

My only observation of them in Washington was of two seen on 3 June 1990
about 4.5 miles south of Cloverland, Asotin County, in an intermittent
pond/marsh.

There are two other records for eastern Washington that I know of:

Harris, S.W. 1951. Four unusual bird records for eastern Washington.
Murrelet
32:43. [Grant Co.; this is the one you cite]

Sloanaker, J.L. 1925 First record of the white-faced ibis in Washington.
Condor: 27:211. [Spokane Co.]
