the roseate spoonbill is a member of the spoonbill & ibis family found in north & south america. they are a highly social wading bird often found feeding with other spoonbills and mixed flocks of birds. they feed by swinging their bill back and forth, the ‘spoon’ shaped portion allowing them to collect small aquatic prey often ignored by larger wading birds like small crustaceans, invertebrates and minnows. although those who haven’t seen them often assume they are larger than life, in reality these birds are smaller than a canada goose, weighing 2.8 - 4lbs. like the american flamingo, their pink coloration comes from canthaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment found in their diet.

this unique ‘blonde’ canada goose shows off one of a kind coloration due to leucism, a genetic mutation that results in a partial lack of melanin. the condition is frequently confused with albinism, but albino animals have a full lack of melanin; albino birds will most likely display all-white feathers, pink skin, and red or pink eyes.
