  <dc:description>&lt;div class="div0"&gt;&lt;div class="row ArticleContentRow"&gt;&lt;p id="ID0EF" class="first"&gt;We studied the nesting ecology of White-faced Ibis (&lt;i&gt;Plegadis chihi&lt;/i&gt;) at 3 sites within the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Great Salt Lake, Utah, USA. Ibises built nests in small mounds (mean height = 14.4 ± 4.3 cm) above shallow water (mean depth = 12.0 ± 6.6 cm) located within patchy vegetation (mean percent vegetative cover = 17.2 ± 17.8% vegetative cover) with mean vegetation height of 31.7 ± 9.8 cm. White-faced Ibis typically laid a clutch of 3 or 4 eggs (mean clutch size = 3.08 ± 0.76) and initiated nests over a 50 d period between 24 April 2012 and 12 June 2012. Mean nest success was 38% (95% CI: 31–45%) and hatching success of eggs from successful nests was 76 ± 26%. Although most of the breeding parameters estimated for White-faced Ibis nesting in Utah were comparable to other populations in Oregon and Idaho (USA), nest success may now be lower than has been historically documented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
