Comments: Bubulcus ibis in Israel
Ibis — The word occurs twice in the D.V. (Leviticus 11:17; Isaiah 34:11) as an equivalent for yánshûph - Strongs: H3244; some good authorities, however, though the yánshûph is mentioned among wading birds, do not admit the above identification and think that the Egyptian eagle-owl (Bubo ascalaphus), which they term great owl, is spoken of. The ibis was worshipped by the Egyptians as the emblem of Thoth.
