π American white ibis (Eudocimus albus)
The American white ibis is a medium-sized wading bird. Adults are entirely white, except for black wingtips (visible in flight), with a long, down-curved, reddish-orange bill and reddish-orange legs. Juveniles are mottled brown and white. They are found along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States, south through Central America, the Caribbean, and into northern South America, inhabiting coastal marshes, wetlands, and mangrove swamps. Highly sociable, American white ibises feed and roost in large flocks, often probing shallow water for crustaceans and insects.
Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
