About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Roseate spoonbills gather in the shallow water (foreground) of a lake north of Kennedy Space Center. In the background at left are white ibis, identified by their down-curving bills. Spoonbills are so named because of the broad spatulate tip on its long straight bill. They obtain food by sweeping their bills from side to side and scooping up whatever they encounter.
