About These Birds

Green Ibis

중간 크기의 따오기로 체장 약 48cm이며, 광택 있는 녹색 몸통에 붉은 얼굴 피부, 짙은 갈색 날개를 갖는다. 남아메리카 열대 습지와 맹그로브 숲에 서식한다. 진흙 속을 뒤져 곤충, 게, 달팽이를 먹는다. 관심 필요 종이다.

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.
