The White-faced Ibis is a western replacement for the Glossy Ibis. Similar in appearance and habits, the two species can be distinguished only by slight differences in coloring of the face and legs.
This Ibis has glittering bronze feathers all over and has a thin band of white feathers around its bare red face during breeding season.
They feed on invertebrates, frogs, and fish. They tend to fly in a straight line formation with alternating shallow rapid wing beats and short glides.
