Please feel free to come over and over again and suggest ID's. I can't be thankful enough for your help. I've returned there for many times and that was the only day I've seen such animal, and its the only decent photo I have. Its a very graceful bird that seems to float rather than fly, while crossing the skies.

Hi animaisfotos, I'm bothering you again with identification issues! The Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) is all black and white. You can check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Ibis.... This is definitelly a Glossy Ibis.
This must have been a nice sighting :)
