Two Roseate Spoonbills (Platalea ajaja) at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR), just north of Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, stand in the conserved wetlands area.
MINWR is one of the northernmost places where the Roseate Spoonbill can be found natively.
Their red coloring, like flamingos, comes from pigments in crustaceans that make up an important part of the spoonbill's diet.
