Roseate Spoonbill

Platalea ajaja

Description:

A bizarre wading bird of the southern coasts, the Roseate Spoonbill uses its odd bill to strain small food items out of the water. Its bright pink coloring leads many Florida tourists to think they have seen a flamingo. Pink with long, flat, spoon-shaped bill and bald head. Moderately long reddish legs.

Habitat:

Marsh

Notes:

The light was horrible today :(
