ROSEATE SPOONBILLS-1591-1574

High Island, Galveston County Texas, USA.

 

Still working on images from our Texas trip last March.

Roseate Spoonbills wade through shallow water swinging their head side to side with their bill under the water feeling for prey. They tend to forage with their bodies held in a horizontal position just above the water with head hanging down. They fly with the neck outstretched, dipping slightly below the body. Spoonbills forage, roost, and nest in groups often with other ibises, herons, and egrets.

 

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit... Repent and live!
