Roseate Spoonbills: Don't call our pink birds flamingos

Roseate spoonbills were spooning their bills through the water collected in a wetland construction area at Baytown Nature Center on this April morning with the temperature around 65 degrees.

Work trucks and bulldozers didn't bother their feeding along the main road into BNC. I didn't even get out of my car to snap these pics.

The National Audubon site calls the roseate spoonbills beautiful and bizarre. They are definitely standouts.
