Roseate Spoonbill
I judged this spoonbill to be in its third calendar year based on its adult plumage and darker more roughly corrugated bill but it still has a mostly feathered head. Older adults have a naked head with a black band across the nape. They forage by sweeping their spatulate bills back and forth in...- jmorlan

They also have a darker more roughly corrugated bill. Pink coloration is derived from carotenoid pigments in their...- jmorlan

ROSEATE SPOONBILL PORT ST LUCIE
I was taking pictures of a Blue Heron when this lady pointed out that there was a Spoonbill in the area across the road. I stopped and tried to get several pictures of the bird and this is the best one I got. I forgot that my neutral density filter was on the lens so they all came out dark. I...- dave598

Second Spoonie
and a much closer viewing than my first. I'm not sure why this one was on his own, tucked away in a quiet corner. There was a whole "bouquet" of them on a sandbar in the next lagune. Perhaps this one didn't feel welcome among them ...? And, is "bouquet" the collective word...- Doc Duck
