The photo was all about the Roseate Spoonbills and their bright pink reflections, or so I thought. I was totally surprised by this young Night Heron as it strolled through the scene. This area in the wide open wetlands was the last place I would have imagined seeing a night heron. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved

Introducing the #Roseate Spoonbill! 🌿 These striking #birds are the only spoonbill in the Americas, with a beautiful gradient from blush to bright pink. Their unique spoon-shaped bills and magenta wings make them look almost mythical.
