Description
Image description from historic lecture booklet: "Very peculiar birds indeed are these we now consider, having a rosy or bright scarlet plumage, extraordinarily long legs and neck, and a large bill that is bent abruptly downward in the middle as though deformed. They frequent shallow, preferably salt-water, marshes and lagoons, and their food consists of small mollusks, crustaceans, and vegetable matter, which they secure by exploring around in the soft mud much after the manner of ducks, the water running out between the ridges of the bill." Photograph was hand colored.
