I haven’t seen a lot of spoonbills lately. In late June, I was heading to lunch and saw a few spoonbills hanging out in the ditches along the back road. The next day I brought my camera and stopped by after work. The ones with the pale pink on their body and no color on their faces are juveniles, probably born early this spring. They look so pretty and clean. I stayed for a few minutes and headed home. I didn’t want to freak out the black necked stilts that were close by.

I love those spoonbills. They have only appeared once in our local wetlands, as far as I know. It is always such a treat to see them.
Fabulous Spoonbills at the end of a working day … what could be better.
