Malagasy Sacred Ibis
I thought this would be one of the first photos I'm posting from our trip to Madagascar where the animal is NOT unique to the island. I was wrong again. The Malagasy Sacred Ibis is a seperate species from the "common" Sacred Ibis found elsewhere.

The Malagasy Sacred Ibis is a species of bird in the Threskiornithidae family. It is found in Madagascar and Seychelles. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, estuarine waters, intertidal flats, and coastal saline lagoons. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Similar species: Pelicans, Herons, Ibises
