About These Birds

Green Ibis

46–56 cm. Entirely dark glossy green with bronze sheen; red bill and legs; bare facial skin. Resident in tropical lowland forests and forest edges of South America from Panama to Bolivia and southern Brazil. Feeds on invertebrates and amphibians along forest streams. Secretive; usually solitary.

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.
