Roseate Spoonbills
Last night a small group of Roseate Spoonbills descended upon the salt marsh at low tide to begin feeding.
One juvenile arrived first, followed by an adult. You can notice how the juvenile is much more pale with only a tinge of pink compared to the adult.
The juvenile also has a black eye while the adult’s eye is red.
Just as the adult landed a second juvie arrives. We watched them feed in the mud and shallow water of the low tide for quite a while.
