The Colorful Spoonbill
Scaling over the humid maritime, wetland environment of fiddler crabs, aquatic grass, and sabal palm trees, the spoonbill gracefully journeyed south. The spoonbill bird is easy to recognize, for its bill is wide at the end that resembles a spoon, and this species is a roseate, which is pink! I've seen the roseate frolic with egrets on many occasions because they both are wading birds that obtain their food out of water. The roseate spoonbill resembles a flamingo by its color, but the flamingo has a short curved beak and long legs. Their color is obtained by a diet of crustaceans (seafood). A few of my favorite birds to photograph are blue jays, cardinals, the spoonbill, eagles, cranes, owls, egrets, and the pileated woodpecker. Photo by CLM
