Platalea minorBlack-faced Spoonbill(Winter migratory species/ Category I protected species) The distinctive feature of a spoonbill is its long, flat bill. It also has a “black face” because of its nude, black skin surrounding its eye area. The earliest appearance of Black-faced Spoonbills was recorded along the coast of Anping. Today, Sihcao is still an important habitat for these birds, also called one of the “Three Treasures” of Tainan. |
