To many residents of Lake Ashton it may appear that there are 3 species of Ibis here, however there are only two. The White Ibis (above) is abundant and gregarious. The long down-curved bill becomes a bright orange-red in mating season and so do the legs. This mostly white bird with pale blue eyes has black wing tips prominent in flight. As a group, they may mob people uttering almost human-like grunts hoping for a free handout. Please do not feed them. Their diet consists of crayfish, crabs, insects, snails, frogs, marine worms, snakes and small fish. The Glossy Ibis (right), similar in size and shape to the White Ibis, is a more solitary bird with beautiful iridescent green and bronze colored feathers. Its diet is similar to the White Ibis'. From a distance, Glossies can appear totally dark. The Ibis that confuses people is the immature White Ibis, pictured at left, which is a mixture of brown and white.
