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.

You know the snow is getting deep when you're neck deep in it! 😁
A Dark-eyed Junco making the best of the cold snowy environment.
Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.
This is the tide breaker located at New Brighton Merseyside, but climbing onto it with my camera and tripod was challenging at best...It was really slippy and neck breakingly risky...The things we do to get that shot. Lol.

It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.
Red-necked Grebe's apparently starting a nesting project. I did not know that they will build a floating nest of rotting plant material, continuously adding material to it.

Black-necked Stilts are among the most stately of the shorebirds, with long rose-pink legs, a long thin black bill, and elegant black-and-white plumage that make them unmistakable at a glance. They move deliberately when foraging, walking slowly through wetlands in search of tiny aquatic prey. When disturbed, stilts are vociferous, to put it mildly, and their high, yapping calls carry for some distance.
A Red-necked Grebe (Podiceps grisegena) relaxes on the wetland while taking a break from incubating the eggs. The pair shares the incubation duties on the nest and I observed this behaviour on a wetland in Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I was lucky to see the UK's only naturalised parrot - The Ring-necked parakeet, he was popping in and out of a whole in the tree. Apparently they became established in the wild in the 1970's after a captive birds escaped or were released.
