Zoology: Bones

The roseate spoonbill, found in the southeast US from Florida to Texas, is a gregarious pink bird with a naked head, red legs, and a long bill ending in a spoon-like paddle. Feeding especially at dusk and dawn, it gathers aquatic animals and plants as it walks in shallow water, by rapidly opening and closing its bill while sweeping it back and forth. Hunting for the feather trade almost led to its extinction in the 1930s. 2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw).
