Animal of the Day!
Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita)
(Photo by Richard Bartz)
Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Morocco; Turkey
Size (Weight/Length)- 1.3 kg; 80 cm
Diet- Insects; Reptiles; Snails; Scorpions; Small mammals
Cool Facts- The Northern bald ibis could once be found across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa but hunting and persecution has driven this bird to near extinction. With less than 700 birds in the wild and 2,000 in captive breeding programs, efforts to reintroduce these non-wading ibis are intensive. The Northern bald ibis live in small groups on cliff ledges and arid steppes as they search for insects and small mammals. These ibis have a close connection with Mediterranean culture. In Ancient Egypt, these birds were sacred and considered the embodiment of Thoth. Greek Stymphalian birds were possibly based on Northern bald ibis. In Turkey, these ibis are symbols of fertility and were thought to be the first animal released from Noah’s Ark.
Rating- 13/10 (A conservation success story in the making.)

A sight too often seen in New York: a non-profit building being razed to make way for another office building, September 16, 1949. The 77-year old St. Nicholas Church, of the city's Collegiate Dutch Reformed denomination, was at Fifth Avenue and 48th St.
