The roseate spoonbill (AKA the Ajaja) is a master at digging through mud for crustaceans and other small animals. With its specialized spoon-shaped bill, it can sift through the water to find exactly what it wants to dine on. These birds build their nests in shrubs or mangrove trees and lay two to five eggs at a time, identifiable by their brown and white markings. 📸: Mike Carlo/USFWS . . . . . . . #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #animaloftheday #wild #wildlife #outdoors #animals #wildanimals #conservation #nature #animallovers #instanature #wildgeography #wildlifeonearth #NationalRefugeWeek #roseatespoonbill
