Comment reconnaître : American white ibis
The American white ibis stands out with its snow-white plumage and the long, curved bill, which is strikingly pinkish red. In flight, black tips on the wings become visible, which are usually not seen when the bird is at rest.
The red legs and the pale, featherless face further reinforce its striking overall appearance. Adult American white ibises reach a length of about 60 centimetres and, with their slender build and long neck, appear particularly elegant.
