Hi Graham,
Yes Sacred Ibis are common in the ACT. But then how does someone define common?
 
Canberra is sort of on the northern edge of most of the range of the white backed form of the magpie. If it had a "black bar between" it is not a pure white backed but there is a lot of variation here. Canberra is on the hybrid zone. But as they are the one species, that term does not mean a lot.
