Glossy Ibis- Plegadis Falcinellus
Flocks of Glossy Ibis forage quite close together, advancing slowly as they probe a muddy area. This activity often attracts Snowy Egrets and other species of waders, which capture minnows and other prey moving away from the feeding ibis flocks.
Glossy Ibises nest in colonies, often among other species of ibis, heron, egret, or spoonbill. Colonial nesters have the advantage of many extra sets of eyes looking out for predators. Colonies might also be places where highly gregarious species like ibises can share information about the most productive foraging areas.
Glossy Ibis is a cosmopolitan species, also found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. In recent decades, its population in Spain has been increasing rapidly, probably helped by increased rice cultivation there. Glossy Ibises banded in Spain have turned up as far away as Barbados, having crossed the Atlantic—a remarkable feat but one that several species of heron and egret have managed as well.
The oldest recorded Glossy Ibis was at least 21 years old and lived in Virginia between 1971 and 1992.
Taken last winter in Florida.
Took a bit of break from photography the last couple of weeks to watch the Australian Open.

This White Ibis watched me from his perch atop a Bald Cypress tree. I slowly ascended the steps of the observation tower, and took this picture when I reached the top. It was then that the ibis had enough and flew off.

The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.
Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

Ibis chauve en train de se nourrir sur les bandes herbeuses de l'aérodrome d'Yverdon-les-Bains ! Ce spécimen porte la bague 233 et porte une balise GPS, il fait partie d'un programme de réintroduction et protection de l'Ibis chauve en Europe 😊👍
Il y a quelques années, l’ibis falcinelle était en France une vraie rareté. Il niche aujourd’hui dans plusieurs départements, les effectifs de cette espèce se sont en effet accrus à partir des populations espagnoles. Il appartient à la même famille que la spatule avec laquelle il niche volontiers en colonie.
When I was in Mexico, I saw a large group of glossy ibises wading through the water. I may have a nice flight shot of a group of them, but the rest had a rather mediocre quality, and it remembered me that I had seen a glossy ibis earlier in the Netherlands last year!
I saw this wonderful bird in the Marker Wadden, a recently developed nature area in the Markerlake, which is nowadays a bird- and birdwatchersparadise.
