One of my favorite bird sightings: The first of two Roseate Spoonbills, both juveniles, I’ve had the joy of seeing.

Two greats in the green. A pose and a preen.

#ThrowbackThursday to August 2022 when my husband and I had the thrill of adding a Roseate Spoonbill to our lifter list. This gorgeous juvenile remains my all-time favorite sighting.

Happy #NationalBirdDay! A very willing model, this gorgeous female Anhinga posed for me and my husband in August 2022, showing off her long neck, red eye, black and white body plumage, and those wicked looking talons on her webbed feet.
