*** About Roseate Spoonbill: Known for its distinctive spoon-shaped bill and vibrant pink plumage, the roseate spoonbill is a wading bird found in the coastal areas of the Americas. The striking color of its feathers comes from the carotenoids in its diet of aquatic invertebrates. During breeding season, their colors become even more pronounced. These birds are often found in shallow waters, sweeping their bills from side to side to sift through the mud for food. Their habitats are generally mangroves and marshes, places rich in the crustaceans that contribute to their colorful appearance. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining the population of these distinctive birds, which face threats from habitat destruction and environmental pollution.:
