From ZOOAMERICA North American Wildlife Park - Hershey, Pennsylvania:
ZOOAMERICA is now home to three new roseate spoonbills. The three young birds hatched at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas in May of 2005 and arrived at ZOOAMERICA in December. They are currently being exhibited in the Grassy Waters building with two adult spoonbills. These juvenile birds can be distinguished from the adults by the white feathers on their head. Adult birds lack these feathers. ZOOAMERICA welcomes 3 new peregrine falcons. Eidie is a female falcon with a wing injury from western Pennsylvania. This bird is unable to fly and would not survive in the wild. She shares a home with Murray, a male peregrine, and will be used in the education department.
