Straw-Necked Ibis

This ibis forages across Australian grasslands, wetlands, and farmland, often taking large numbers of insects such as locusts, and gathers in large, sometimes mixed-species flocks. It nests colonially in wetland trees, with colonies numbering into the thousands at favored sites. Wetlands and grassland after rain, when insect prey is abundant, are the most productive times and places to see large feeding flocks.
