Scarlet Ibis II

Hello!
Today, I shall go back to the egret & heron roosting place, trying to have a second look at the Scarlet Ibis.
I may have the Company of my very good friend: Marcelo Cardoso.
In the past, the Scarlet Ibis was a commom bird in Brazil ( about 500 years ago). The Brazilian Indians were even doing dresses with their feathers!!!
Polutions & destruction of their Natural Habitat, made them almost disapear...But, there are some places they still can be found: Marajó Island ( where the Amazon River flows into the Atlantic Ocean) and in Cubatão village , near São Paulo City.
Best Regards,
Paulo Boute.
