RE: SpoonBill Sighting!!!!

in #blog6 years ago

Beautiful bird :-) This is Roseate Spoonbill. It is worth mentioning that pink color of the birds is bestowed by their food which contains canthaxanthin and astaxanthin, both careotenoid pigments. In the breeding season, their plumage attains a bright color.
