🌎 Roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)

The roseate spoonbill is a striking wading bird, easily identified by its vibrant pink plumage and distinctive spoon-shaped bill. Adults have a bare greenish head, and their pink colouration comes from their diet. They inhabit shallow fresh and coastal waters, ranging from the southeastern U.S. to central Argentina. They feed by sweeping their bills side-to-side in the water, catching small fish, crustaceans, and insects. Often seen in groups, they are social birds. No subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

🌎 Spectacled tyrant (Hymenops perspicillatus)

The spectacled tyrant is a small bird with a distinctive appearance. It has a mostly black plumage, with a little white showing on the wings at rest, and a conspicuous white "spectacle" around its eye. It is found in South America, in countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. It prefers open habitats such as grasslands and scrublands. The Spectacled tyrant is a flycatcher, meaning it catches insects in mid-air. It is usually seen perching on a branch or fence post, waiting for prey to fly by. Two subspecies are recognised.
