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
65–76 cm. White with bare black head; black wingtips and neck feathers. Resident across South and Southeast Asia in wetlands, rice paddies, and grasslands. Near Threatened; declining due to habitat loss and hunting. Feeds by probing in shallow water for fish and invertebrates; colonial nester.
