Found in the Indian subcontinent and placed in a genus with
Giant and White-shouldered Ibis, both endangered.
Not the most common of ibises since they do not form very large flocks nor breed in colonies. Usually found on the
edges of water, they will forage inland but are not found in forested regions.
