Spoon billed Sandpiper

(Platalea pygmea)


This little guy lives mostly in Russia and is very endangered with an estimated 50-249 birds living in the wild. I was previously unaware that there was a spoon billed sandpiper. I think it is very interesting to see how this adaptation has evolved in different species.
