Roseate Spoonbill Platalea ajaja

The Roseate Spoonbill is native to the middle Americas (southwest USA, Caribbean, central America and northern South America).

The intensity of red in the Roseate Spoonbill's plumage depends, like the flamingo, on diet and metabolism.

The juveniles have pale pink plumage without red highlights and a fully-feathered white head.
