March 4, 2008 Rookery Update
Just a quick update -
This evening a pair of Roseatte Spoonbills were within the Rookery, with one moving around the east bank and occasionally playing with sticks. No actual nest building was done, and I believe the pair to be last years babies, now all grown up. While we have had one of the juvenile Spoonbills stay with us all year out by the Flamingo Lagoon, this is the first time we have had another show since its sibling flew away for parts unknown. This is also the first time I have seen any roost within the Rookery this year, hopefully a sign of good things to come! They posed for this picture taken around 6:00 pm today:
