roseate spoonbill

The last time a roseate spoonbill was seen in Wisconsin was in 1845, and that bird was dead.

You will see dolphins, terns, maybe even a roseate spoonbill.

The roseate spoonbill, like the flamingo a large, pink wading bird, is more widespread in the state and is not listed as threatened.

Though it is unusual to see roseate spoonbills here, it is too soon to conclude that we are seeing spoonbills expanding their range as a result of a warming climate, Curson told me.

The beautiful and striking roseate spoonbill is usually found in Florida, the Southeast Atlantic coast, Cuba and near the Gulf of Mexico.
