About These Birds
Black-faced Spoonbill
The Black-faced Spoonbill is a large, elegant wading bird with all-white plumage, a distinctive spatula-shaped black bill, and black facial skin around the eyes. It is critically endangered and among the rarest spoonbills in the world, breeding on rocky islets off the Korean Peninsula and wintering mainly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. It feeds by sweeping its spoon-shaped bill through shallow water to capture fish, crustaceans, and aquatic invertebrates.
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.
