About These Birds
Dwarf Ibis
45–50 cm. Small ibis; dark brown with olive gloss; bare facial skin. Critically Endangered; endemic to São Tomé Island (Gulf of Guinea). Fewer than 250 birds; threatened by forest clearance and hunting. The world's smallest ibis; feeds on earthworms and invertebrates in moist forest.
Rosalöffler
Der Rosalöffler ist die einzige Löfflerart Amerikas und einer der auffälligsten Watvögel der westlichen Hemisphäre. Wie bei Flamingos stammt seine rosa Farbe von Carotinoid-Pigmenten aus seiner Beute an Krebstieren. Im 19. Jahrhundert wegen seiner Federn fast bis zur Ausrottung bejagt, haben sich die Bestände seither erheblich erholt.
