Glossy ibises undertake dispersal movements after breeding and are highly nomadic. The more northerly populations are fully migratory and travel on a broad front, for example across the Sahara Desert. Populations in temperate regions breed during the local spring, while tropical populations nest to coincide with the rainy season. Nesting is often in mixed-species colonies. When not nesting, flocks of over 100 individuals may occur on migration, and during the winter or dry seasons the species is usually found foraging in small flocks. Glossy ibises often roost communally at night in large flocks, with other species, occasionally in trees which can be some distance from wetland feeding areas.

The White-Faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi) is a medium-sized wading bird whose breeding range includes the western United States south through Mexico, southeastern Brazil and Bolivia south to central Argentina and the coast of Chile. The winter range extends from southern California and Louisiana south to include the rest of their breeding range. This species breeds in colonies around saltwater and freshwater marshes, usually nesting in bulrushes, cattails, bushes or low trees. The nest is built from reeds. Its breeding range extends from the western United States south through Mexico, as well as from southeastern Brazil and southeastern Bolivia south to central Argentina, and along the coast of central Chile. The white-faced ibis is an overall iridescent bronze-brown color. There is a thin band of white feathers around its face, thus giving it the name white-faced. The bill is long and downward curving. It has red eyes and long red legs and feet. The curved bill is used to probe for a variety of organisms, including invertebrates such as insects, snails, leeches, crayfish and earthworms. The diet may also include vertebrates such as newts, fish and frogs. This white-faced ibis with its breeding plumage was photographed while standing on the bank of Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
