A Rogue Spoonbill



The other day I was in our back office when I heard Amanda Clark (who is now officially full-time, yay!) exclaim that she saw a Roseate Spoonbill. I had to see for myself, and there it was, just hanging out above our turtle feeding platform! Usually they are gone by the end of December. I guess this one figured it'd stay and hang out with its Great Egret friend, who stays year round. We've also had hooded mergansers, night herons, anhinga, kingfisher, Great blue heron and lots of woodpeckers around the nature center lately. Come on by to check them out!
