*** About Roseate Spoonbill: The Roseate Spoonbill, distinct for its vibrant pink plumage and spoon-shaped bill, is a wading bird found in the Americas, particularly in coastal Florida, Texas, and Central and South America. These birds prefer shallow waters such as marshes and bays, where they can sweep their bills through the mud to catch various crustaceans, which contribute to their pink color derived from the carotenoid pigments in their diet. The species experienced significant population declines due to hunting in the 19th century but has since recovered following conservation efforts, although habitat loss remains a threat.:
