Three globally endangered black-faced spoonbills (

Studies have shown that Black-faced Spoonbill
Platalea minor (Zhang et al., 2006), American Black Duck Anas rubripes(Morton et al., 1989) and Sandhill Crane Grus canadensis (Fox et al., 1995) have high proportion of resting behavior in daytime (including standing and lying).
However, we did not observe three migratory species, Amazonetta brasiliensis (Gmelin, 1789),
