DE GORTARI-LUDLOW, Natalia  and  CHAPA-VARGAS, Leonardo. First records of the White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) from the highland plateau of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Huitzil [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.2, pp.141-145. ISSN 1870-7459.

We report two visual records of the White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) at "Los Coyotes" lagoon, a natural affluent of the water spring "Media Luna" located at the "Rioverde" municipality of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. These visual encounters took place on September 2011 and February 2012. This is the first published report of the species at this locality, and our finding is important because this species has been barely found in non-coastal wetlands of the Mexican highland plateau.
