About These Birds
Bare-faced Ibis
The Bare-faced Ibis is a wading bird of the family Threskiornithidae found in open wetlands, flooded grasslands, and agricultural areas across South America. Weighing about 546.5g with a wingspan of 53.1cm, it has a distinctive bare reddish face and a long curved bill. It probes mud and shallow water for invertebrates, fish, and amphibians.
Roseate Spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill is the only spoonbill species in the Americas and one of the most striking wading birds in the Western Hemisphere. Like flamingos, their pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their crustacean prey. Nearly hunted to extinction for their plumes in the 19th century, they have recovered substantially.
