About These Birds
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.
Andean Ibis
75 cm. White head and neck with chestnut tones; black upperparts; bare reddish facial skin. Restricted to Andean grasslands (puna) of Peru, Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina at 3,000–5,000 m elevation. Vulnerable; feeds on invertebrates and small vertebrates in high-altitude bogs and grasslands.
