Series: common birds of Chiloé, pt 6

Part 6: Black-faced ibis. This strikingly-colored bird is common in fields, dunes, and beaches in Chiloé. It’s another noisy bird with a very distinct call (click here to listen).

Spanish common name: Bandurria. Scientific name: Theristicus melanopis.

Photos in the series are my own, taken in Jan-Feb 2011 in Chiloé, Chile.
