Description
The Spoonbills (Ajaia ajaja) happened to line up in a diagonal shape and I was able to capture these great, pink birds against the complementary blue of the sky. Photographed at Brazoria NWR in Texas.
Gorgeous at a distance and bizarre up close is the Roseate Spoonbill. Locally common in coastal Florida, Texas, and southwest Louisiana, they are usually in small flocks, often associating with other waders. Spoonbills feed in shallow waters, walking forward slowly while they swing their heads from side to side, sifting the muck with their wide flat bills.
