The African Sacred Ibis The African Sacred Ibis by Sudipto Sarkar is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. Another beautiful bird in the studio… This one’s apparently a sub class of the Ibis genus… The one thing that I found sacred about this Ibis was the contrast between the black and white in its forage.
