Roseate Spoonbill





The Roseate Spoonbill is a bird of the Southeastern U.S. coasts. Its pink feathers and spoon shaped bill make it a big attaction to the birders and tourists of Sanibel. Tourists are the ones who call it a Flamingo. In the pictures I took today
I show the bird landing, feeding (it sweeps its' partially open bill back and forth in the water until feels something to eat), preening (cleaning itself), and taking off.
