The black-faced spoonbill has the most restricted distribution of all
spoonbills, and it is the only one regarded as endangered. Spoonbills are large
water birds with dorso-ventrally flattened, spatulate bills. The black-Faced
spoonbill population as of 2012 census was recorded at 2,693 birds, with an
estimation of 1,600 mature birds. Breeding colonies occur between March and
August, on small islands. These birds are known to be crepuscular eaters, using
intertidal mudflats. Source
