Black-faced Ibis
Native to regions of southern South America, the black-faced ibis is a large bird with a rust colored neck and a long curved beak. They use their uniquely shaped beak to search for food on the ground or water. Their nostrils sit higher up on the bill so they can breathe when submerging it underwater.
