Eudocimus albus

This particular ibis is a medium-sized bird with an overall white plumage, bright red-orange down-curved bill and long legs, and black wing tips that are usually only visible in flight. Males are larger and have longer bills than females.

Their diet consists primarily of small aquatic prey, such as insects and small fishes. During the breeding season, the American white ibis gathers in huge colonies near water.
