Roseate Spoonbill
Whilst in Florida last we happened to take a cruise down the inter coastal waterway. It was interesting because on one side of the waterway was nothing but commercial buildings and homes. In fact some were shanties. No other roads quite like Rt. A-1A in Florida.
The other side.....the wilder side.......was a typical Floridian wildlife habitat. This spoonbill presented itself in just the right light to capture the bright pink colors of the feathers. If the light is wrong, the colors just don't pop. But in this case the critter allowed us to see not only the bright pink of the feathers, but the brighter red in the eye and legs.
Sometime, you just gotta wonder what God was thinking when He put together some of these critters. Just imagine your dental bills if you had a bill like that. For them it works, but for us not so much. And do you think that all those colors blend in with the habitat? I guess so cause they have been around for a long time.
Just seems to me that they would fit in to some "Florida Rooms" rather than the great outdoors, but then again there's no accounting for some humans taste either.
Despite how awkward they look, and like the Pelican, they are a beautiful bird.
