About These Birds
Olive Ibis
65 cm. Olive-brown with glossy sheen; bare red facial skin; long decurved bill. Resident in dense forest of equatorial Africa from Sierra Leone to DR Congo. Feeds on invertebrates on forest floor; solitary and secretive. Near Threatened due to forest loss.
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.
