Black-faced Ibis (Theristicus melanopis) - 28Feb2022

The Black-faced Ibis is the third species in the genus Theristicus that I have seen.  These seems to gravitate more to the coastal areas and grasslands in Argentina, Peru and Chile.  They are quite similar looking to the Buff-necked Ibis, and previously were one species but now most authorities consider them separate.  Matt and I saw ours on the coast right next to the airport in Ushuaia, Argentina.
