About These Birds
Spot-breasted Ibis
47–53 cm. Brown with white-spotted breast; bare red-orange facial skin. Resident in lowland rainforest of West and Central Africa from Sierra Leone to Uganda. Secretive forest ibis; feeds on invertebrates and small vertebrates on forest floor. Near Threatened; threatened by deforestation.
Roseate Spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill is the only spoonbill species in the Americas and one of the most striking wading birds in the Western Hemisphere. Like flamingos, their pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their crustacean prey. Nearly hunted to extinction for their plumes in the 19th century, they have recovered substantially.
