Physical Description. The roseate spoonbill is the only spoonbill endemic (native) to the Western Hemisphere (Bjork and Powell 1996). This species can reach a length of 30-40 inches (76-102 centimeters) with a wingspan of 50-53 inches (127-135 centimeters).
Yellow is the color between green and orange on the spectrum of visible light. It is evoked by light with a predominant wavelength of roughly 570â590 nm. In traditional color theory, used in painting, and in the subtractive color system, used in color printing, yellow is a primary color.
In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity. The word yellow comes from the Old English geolu, geolwe (oblique case), meaning yellow, yellowish, derived from the Proto-Germanic word gelwaz yellow. It has the same Indo-European base, gÊ°el-, as the words gold and yell, or cry out..
