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.
Black-faced Ibis
71 cm. White head; black face mask and back; buff underparts; bare black-and-red facial skin; pink legs. Resident in southern South America (Chile, Argentina) and Andean foothills. Feeds on invertebrates in grasslands and wetlands. Moves seasonally; some populations migratory.
