Sacred Ibis
The Scared Ibis was seen everywhere we went in South Africa until we hit Kruger National Park. These large birds we easy to spot and slow enough so I could get some good BIF shots of them, like this one over the marsh. It is called a Sacred Ibis because the ancient Egyptians believed it symbolized the Thoth, the god of knowledge and wisdom. They mummified thousands of them with their dead royalty.
