Description
Seems like there is an intruder that's getting its head spooned while these Roseate Spoonbills (Ajaia ajaja) work out there differences at a nest site atop a tree in the Smith Oaks Rookery, High Island, 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.
