Didn’t even know that was a thing. Beautiful bird.

Are they common around the Baton Rouge area?

I would post a pic...but my pics suck. He was shy.

That’s cool. I’m not from this area and had never heard of it.

Very stunning in flight.

They are spooned bill rosettes and they are quite beautiful from a distance and goofy up close I have a bunch of pictures of them but cant find any that I posted. They eat by swishing their heads from side to side spoon bill in the water they eat mostly small brine shrimp and that's where the color comes from.

Blind River is usually full of these creatures come summertime.

Like others have said, pretty from afar, but not so much up close.

Maybe in backwards land.

Here, we call them Roseate Spoonbills.
