About These Birds

Common Blackbird

유럽 찌르레기는 유럽에서 가장 친숙하고 사랑받는 명금 중 하나로, 수컷은 광택 있는 검은 깃털과 노란 눈 테두리, 노란 부리가 특징적이다. 풍부하고 유연한 노래로 유명하며 도심 정원부터 깊은 숲까지 광범위한 서식지에서 번성한다.

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.
