The Scarlet Ibis is a native wading bird of South America. This great looking ibis can be seen on the island of Trinidad, feeding along the coast in the daytime. In the evening, they form large flocks and gather on the interior lakes for the night. The Scarlet Ibis has not been seen in North America as a wild bird but it is regularly seen in zoos and bird centres.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
