The Sharp-tailed Ibis is a medium-sized ibis found in the open grasslands and savannas of northern South America. It is characterized by its dull brown plumage and a noticeably long, pointed tail.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, primarily in the Llanos region of Venezuela and Colombia, and parts of Brazil. Inhabits savannas, grasslands, and seasonally flooded areas.
How to spot
Look for its relatively uniform dull brown plumage and its long, sharply pointed tail, which is quite distinctive among ibises. Often seen foraging in open fields, sometimes in small groups. Its flight is strong and direct.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Breeding often occurs during the wet season.

Unlike many ibises that primarily forage in wetlands, the Sharp-tailed Ibis often feeds in dry grasslands, using its long bill to probe for insects and other invertebrates.
