Roseate Spoonbills are known as a species more willing than most birds to change their territory. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, this saved them from extinction in North America (they were Florida only then).
They look to be moving again. Northern Florida has a huge number of Spoonbill. If you view the image below large you can see adults, breeding colors, mixed with our usual juveniles.
Even more interesting is a few pair are building nests in our local swamps, just a few minutes from my home. While they look a little young, and maybe they just got caught up in the rookery activity, it’s still a great sign. Spoonbills are survivors.
