Talk:Scarlet ibis

National birds
I've reverted last edits to Rufous-vented Chachalaca and Scarlet Ibis because my understanding is that the former is the national bird of Tobago - it doesn't occur in Trinidad, and the latter is the national bird of Trinidad; both therefore are featured on the coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago

There is no inconsistency in parts of a nation state having their own national birds; England, Scotland and Wales have their own national flowers, despit not being independent countries. jimfbleak 15:09, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No, although each bird only occurs on one island, they are both the national birds of Trinidad and Tobago. Guettarda 01:08, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Scarlet Ibis has a broader range than shown here
For one, I've personally seen several Scarlet Ibis near my home near Fort Desoto in Florida.

Looking further, I do find references to them nesting in the coastal areas of the SE US:

This is corroborated by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, which lists them as non-native residents that are established in 24 counties:
