🌎 Roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)

The roseate spoonbill is a striking wading bird, easily identified by its vibrant pink plumage and distinctive spoon-shaped bill. Adults have a bare greenish head, and their pink colouration comes from their diet. They inhabit shallow fresh and coastal waters, ranging from the southeastern U.S. to central Argentina. They feed by sweeping their bills side-to-side in the water, catching small fish, crustaceans, and insects. Often seen in groups, they are social birds. No subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

The #Merritt Island National #Wildlife Refuge is home to many species of birds, including the dramatically-colored #Roseate #Spoonbill, named after their bright #pink color.
Like in flamingos, this coloration is a result of compounds in some crustaceans in their diet.

A group of Roseate Spoonbills flying over the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refugee.
Their bright #pink feathers make them very clear against the white #clouds and blue #sky.
#RoseateSpoonbills gain their pink coloration from eating a certain crustacean containing a pigment. Flamingos gain the color from the same process.
