The American white ibis is very common in Florida.It is the mascot of the University of Miami. Selected as the school mascot because of its legendary bravery during hurricanes. According to American Indian legend, the ibis is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits and the first to reappear once the storm has passed.
