(More) Roseate Spoonbills

[Blufftonian]

We seem to have a glut of these birds this year. This morning I counted 35 of them on the shore of a lake in our community. They were mixed in with about 60 American White Ibis, a few egrets and a lone Wood Stork.

Keep looking out for them. There have been sightings in E-bird from NJ and NY and all the way up the coast as far as Maine and New Brunswick, Canada.
