Jump Off
Here is our recent spoonbill visitor jumping off from out of the salt marsh on one of the last sightings I had of him. We haven’t seen the spoonie for over a week now and it’s likely he’s left the area. Typically we get some pink arrivals at the end of June or early July, but we remain hopeful that this very brightly colored bird will return even sooner.

Fabulous colour and the most perfect timing! Excellent work

Is it my imagination, or did that bird become more deeply coloured while he was with you this spring? Lets hope he comes back but I suspect he’s desperate to find a girl … 🙂

This was the brightest and deepest pink spoonbill we have ever had in our marsh. This was taken in early evening when the setting sunlight really warmed him up even more. But could be all the shrimp he ate that added to his pinkness.
I think he was getting lonely without any hot pink chicks around. 🙂
