Just posting this to make sure that those interested in spoonbills have seen the other threads on spoonbills on birdforum here and here. I found the link to Sibley's website, and especially the videos very interesting (but us China-folk have to find a way to see Youtube!) fascinating to see the birds' feeding technique, as well as to read Sibley's observations (altogether perhaps 5 entries on spoonbills so far).
Yes, I've really enjoyed the Sibley articles... I wonder if he has seen these threads? So many people are/are becoming interested in spoonbilled sands. I just wish we could do something tangible to help them.
