Scarlet Ibis II

By brazilianpioneerbirder

Hello!

Today, I shall go back to the egret  & heron roosting place, trying to have a second look at the Scarlet Ibis.

I may have the Company of my very good friend:  Marcelo Cardoso.

In the past, the Scarlet Ibis was a commom bird in Brazil ( about 500 years ago). The Brazilian Indians were even doing dresses with their feathers!!!

Polutions & destruction of their Natural Habitat, made them almost disapear…But, there are some places they still can be found: Marajó Island ( where the Amazon River flows into the Atlantic Ocean) and in Cubatão village , near São Paulo City.

Best Regards,

Paulo Boute.
