Black-faced Spoonbill

Incheon area, South Korea

We never got close looks of this species, but nice looks thru the scope anyway.

This is another highly emperiled and endangered Yellow Sea endemic, with a global population estimated at 2500. They have been slowly increasing though, from a total winter count of less than 300 birds back in 1990. It is a legally recognized national monument in South Korea!
