About These Birds

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.

Black-headed Ibis

クロトキはアジアに分布するトキです。白い体と黒い頭部・首が特徴的で、水辺に生息して魚や甲殻類を食べます。
