Today's animal is the roseate spoonbill.
 |
| The roseate spoonbill (Ajaia ajaja), is an unusual wading bird that breeds from the Gulf states all the way down to Chile and Argentina. There is nothing quite like a spoonbill, with their flat, spatula-like bill and, in this species, its bright pink color. Their feathers were once highly prized for use in lady's fans. It's such a common and easily recognized animal along the Gulf that they were included in the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog, which is set in Louisiana, during the "Dig a Little Deeper" sequence.
