Another bird here that should start thinking of making the trip. I do think they wait longer than the Wood Storks though.
Without checking, I believe the first time I photographed a Spoonbill was in a January. Last year we had a cold January so they were gone, fast.
Spoonbills can actually nest in the same Rookeries as Wood Storks in Florida. However most go to Central and South America.

Magical.
So glad you like the Spoonies. They are the favorite of the photogs around here.
So pretty on pink! š
Oh yes. I see less every time I’m out. They are starting to move on for a few months. But, some might be here a month or so more.
