Roseate Spoonbills and Wood Storks have the complete opposite temperament. You have big pink clowns, and serious looking ‘old man’ tall guys.
I find it funny both species tend to flock together, at least for a while.
Spoonbills aways gather, and look to climb, any log or branch in a marsh. They will push and snap at each other almost like a game. All these Spoonbill were juveniles making it even louder.
Sooner or later one of the calm Wood Storks will lose it…enough with the chaos.
Below a Stork snapped at, then ran off, the clowns.
Calm was soon restored, the Storks enjoying their quiet time again. The clowns will soon be back, the routine repeats itself.

Enough is enough😊. Nice shots!
Thanks 😁. Fun to see and very predictable 😁. A few photogs and I sat at a marsh one morning and watched about 10 Spoonbills push and shove each for the top spot on a dead branch in the water. Clowns 🤡
The best kind!
They are so funny these pink clowns among serious Storks. Fantastic photos! Love them!
You couldn’t ask for two opposite looking critters. Maybe that’s why the do stay around each other 😁😁
just awesome 🙂
Thank you. You just can’t make this stuff up 😂🤣😂
