White-faced ibis or caraúna

Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Medium Plateau Region.
A Canchim steer stands calmly beside a group of caraúnas.



This small pond near a Lolium multiflorum pasture
creates a microecosystem in which the Plegadis chihi finds a place to rest and feed.


In Brazilian Portuguese, this species has a plenty of common names:
caraúna, caraúna-da-cara-branca, curicaca, maçarico-preto, tapicuru,etc.



The white-faced ibis also occurs on North America.

Against the sun, their wing feathers show a beautiful, shining green.




This other caraúna is happily walking beside two "frangos d'água" (Gallinula galeata).
