Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Look for flocks. African Sacred Ibises are highly gregarious. Look for groups foraging together or flying in V-formations.
2. Observe foraging behavior. Watch for their characteristic probing action in mud or shallow water, sweeping their bill from side to side.
3. Listen for calls. While generally quiet, listen for their guttural grunts and croaks, especially in breeding colonies or when disturbed.
4. Check refuse dumps. In some regions, particularly where they are introduced, they are frequently found scavenging at refuse dumps.

Migrazione

Generally resident in many parts of its range, but some populations undertake seasonal movements in response to rainfall and food availability. For example, populations in the Sahel region of Africa move south during the dry season. Introduced populations are largely sedentary.
