"My branch!"

So, this spoonbill seemed to tolerate the presence of the smaller night herons and cormorants, but when this great egret settled down nearby, the spoonbill watched it like the proverbial hawk and had a few moments of downright testiness.

My photo of the week:

Another Roseate Spoonbill finds its way to Michigan.

Two years ago, our birding community was thrilled when a Roseate Spoonbill was reported in southeast Michigan.

It was a first state record. Hundreds of people went to see the bird. (Yes, I was one of them!)

And now another Roseate Spoonbill has shown up at a small park in Jackson.

Hey, birds.town! My husband @CTGT and I went from casual birdwatching to serious birding in 2021. My favorite backyard bird is the White-breasted Nuthatch and my favorite lifer to-date is a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill.

Putting a little pink in your feed because it’s the last day of February! The gets its pink color from its diet of shrimp, prawns, aquatic insects, and fish! 🐦💕

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.

I was asked the other day if I had ever done a pastel artwork depicting a roseate spoonbill. Well, now I have. These wading birds are very unusual looking with their long, rounded bill. The pink plumage color comes from a diet of shrimp similar to a flamingo.

See the artwork in my online gallery at mm-anderson.pixels.com/feature or one of the other sites in my profile.

In photographs, roseate spoonbills always seemed to me to be gigantic birds. But they are actually quite delicate, standing around 2.5 feet high. It's their wingspan of 4 feet that makes them seem larger than they are. 💗 💗 💗

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.
