One of our most striking Florida birds is the Roseate Spoonbill.

Adult Roseate Spoonbills, especially in breeding colors, look stunning in any pose.

Their new, paler-pink fledglings have learned to open those great wings and take short flights, but they’re still a bit unsteady here!

Getting ready for take-off . . .

Sometimes they manage to land more gracefully than others! 😉
