Roseate Spoonbill
Warning! This image portrays the hardships that may happen to any animal in nature. this Spoonbill was attempting to launch it's self off the top of a dead palm tree when it's leg fell into a crack in the tree. It was hard to watch and local Animal Control was called.. Both Animal Control and the Sheriff's Dept came to help. I have not been able to find out the final outcome;; I will say this ... Much effort and care were seen as these folks took the Spoonbill off for emergency care!
Today was an unexpected trip.
I was scheduled to work all day as a fill in shuttle driver shuttling guests around the company property but had the rest of my trips cancelled due to the cold (while still getting paid for the full day, nice).
So, knowing that Sam was already wanting to spend the evening out and about, I headed west. I saw this guy lined into Lincoln and just missed him at Waverly. I continued west and got him from the overpass at 70th St. before continuing west to meet up with Sam at P Dale.
