About These Birds
Eurasian Spoonbill
白琵鹭（约1.8公斤）是一种大型白色涉禽，具有独特的匙状喙和黄色喙端。广布于欧洲南部至亚洲，越冬于非洲。在浅水中以左右摇动喙部的独特方式觅食鱼类、甲壳动物和水生昆虫。无危；在保护措施的帮助下，种群数量已从历史低谷恢复。
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.
