About These Birds

Wattled Ibis

75 cm. Dark brown with metallic sheen; distinctive fleshy red wattle on throat; bare red facial skin. Endemic to Ethiopian highlands above 2,000 m. Feeds on invertebrates and plant matter in highland marshes and grassy hillsides. Near Threatened; restricted range on montane wetlands.

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.
