*** About Roseate Spoonbill: The Roseate Spoonbill is a striking waterbird belonging to the ibis and spoonbill family and is notable for its beautiful pink plumage, which derives its hue from the carotenoid pigments in its diet of crustaceans and other aquatic invertebrates. This species is found in the coastal regions of the southeastern U.S., including Florida, and is often spotted in shallow waters, where it swings its bill back and forth to catch food. Conservation efforts have been crucial in maintaining the population of this species, which faced declines in the past due to habitat loss and hunting for their colorful feathers.
