Scarlet Ibis

The Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) is a captivating and vibrantly colored bird that inhabits the coastal regions of South America and the Caribbean. Named for its striking scarlet plumage, this medium-sized wader belongs to the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. The brilliant red feathers of the Scarlet Ibis are truly a sight to behold, creating a stunning contrast against its long, slender bill and legs, which are often a dark shade of black.
