The American White Ibis is a medium-sized wading bird found in coastal regions of the Americas, recognized by its entirely white plumage, bright pink face and legs, and long, down-curved reddish bill.
Where to spot
Widespread in coastal southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Inhabits estuaries, mudflats, mangroves, shallow coastal lagoons, and freshwater wetlands.
How to spot
Look for its pure white body, contrasting bright pink legs and facial skin, and long, curved pinkish-red bill. Often seen wading in shallow water, probing the mud for crustaceans and insects. They often feed in groups.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Breeding occurs during warmer months, often forming large colonies.
