Scarlet Ibis

Audubon
believed he saw three of this South American birds once, in Louisiana in
1821. These were probably drawn in England in 1837 from specimens obtained
south of the United States.
In 1961, Scarlet Ibis from Trinidad were introduced
to the Greynolds Park rookery. Since then they have interbred with White
Ibis, and pink hybrids are occasionally seen in South Florida.
