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.
Straw-necked Ibis
59–76 cm. White with black neck bristles; bare dark head; yellowish bill. Endemic to Australia in grasslands, pastures, and inland wetlands. Nomadic; follows rainfall across the continent. Feeds on insects and invertebrates in dry grassland. Often seen in mixed flocks with Australian Ibis.
