- Comments:
White Ibises generally forage in groups, walking slowly with their heads down
probing for prey with their bills. Breeding adults have red legs, black-tipped red bills
and red faces. In flight, mottled brown and white young birds show a triangular white rump
patch. Adults show black tips on their first four primaries. Decurved orange-red bills and
reddish legs distinguish them from herons, egrets and other ibises.

occur in small numbers or are found only in localized sites within the Great Plains.
