As luck would have it I would finally see some Roseate Spoonbills at a decent distance but they all had there heads tucked in for a nap. Perhaps because they rest on only one leg, this one wobbled a bit so I at least got a quick sight of its namesake, the spoonbill, before it tucked back into position.

A photo art image of Rosie the Roseate sweeping back and forth with her “spoon” bill (as Roseate Spoonbills do) in the grasses of a local pond searching for something tasty to eat. This pink beauty is in breeding plumage, hence the deep pink color.

Pink Feathered Friend by Debra Martz
I once lived in coastal S Texas where I saw this bird often though usually at a distance or flying high overhead. I was pleased to see this one closer on the pond at Estero Llano Grande in Weslaco, Texas.
The light #pink color of this #Roseate #Spoonbill and still feathers on its head represents a juvenile.

The Roseate Spoonbill is one of the most unique and beautiful pink birds in the avian kingdom and their plumage is especially more vivid when in breeding plumage. This one was preening it’s colorful feathers when I happened by.
