Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)
This photograph corresponds to a record of Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) made in Costa del Arroyo Cangrejo, Albúfera Laguna Mar Chiquita, Buenos Aires, Argentina on 12/04/2026. The photograph was published by Jorge Iriberri and is part of the EcoRegistros biodiversity database.
EL DETALLE OCULTO - La Espátula Rosada (Platalea ajaja) es una llamativa ave de nuestros humedales, escasa por pérdida de hábitats y la caza por sus vistosas plumas. En cierta etapa de su cambio de plumajes, de juvenil a adulto, muestra un detalle muy poco visto y aún menos registrado . Este ejemplar, que "capturé" en la Albúfera de Mar Chiquita, Arroyo "Cangrejo", el domingo 12-04 lo muestra. Con las las alas plegadas en reposo, o en vuelo desde abajo, no se ven los bordes negros de los vexilos
