American White Ibis: Eudocimus albus

Adults are 65 cm long with a 95 cm wingspan. They have reddish bills and legs and white plummage, except for black wingtips that are visable during flight. They are commonly found in coastal marshland, or in areas of mowed grass such as lawns or golf courses. Their distribution extends from the Mid-Atlantic coast of the United States down through the tropics of Central and South America. They eat fish, frogs and insects and live in mixed colonies with other wading birds.
