Buff-necked Ibis in Pantanal
The motto in the airport of the city that serves as the gateway to the Pantanal says "It's LIfer Time" (a "Lifer" is an expression used by birdwatchers to denote a so-called Life bird, i.e., one that the birdwatcher has never seen before). And yes, it really is a paradise for bird watchers with "Lifers" to be seen almost everywhere you look.
The Buff-necked Ibis , also known as the White-throated Ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America. It formerly included the similar Black-faced Ibis as a subspecies, but that species is almost entirely restricted to colder parts of South America, has a buff lower chest, and lacks the contrasting large white wing-patches.
