Roseate Spoonbill nest, and a few babies.
Note; Spoonbill nest above a boardwalk every year in the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. They are not bothered here and have been coming back each year for decades.

Proud parents! I guess the chicks grow into those bills 😊
Yeah, they also grow into all those strange color combinations.
Such amazing 🤩 birds, and a tad homely, but that pinkness, oh my gosh 🤗💖
They certainly could use a color coordinator 😂
The babies are so cute! That color never fails to astonish me.
Breeding time they wear their neon ‘suit of many colors’. This spot is one of the few places to photo the young safely. We have been visiting for years and have built up a a good number of Spoony shots 😁😁😁
Fantastic! The babies are so fragile and so cute! Excellent photo and unique!
Thank you. Somehow they grow into those strange beaks 😂😂
Well that is a first for me, never seen a Spoonbill chick, how cute! They must develop their huge bills over time.
And all the weird colors too
