Surprise Visitors

Roseate Spoonbills, visitors at the local swamp rookery.

This is new, and the first time they have stayed around. This swamp is not Spoonbill friendly. The big ponds are too deep for them to feed, the smaller ones dark and weed covered.

Just the other side of the property are their usual feeding places. Shallow open marshes are what they need.

Still it’s nice to see them hanging around.

  1. Great photo, I finally am at my first rookery this year in Louisiana, lots and lots of these birds. Never get tired of seeing pink birds. 🙂
