Saw lots of roseate spoonbills in Florida - looks similar but deeper color on the ones I saw - I had no idea they were part of the crane family.

"You looking at me. No, you looking at ME!!" Kind of looks like a cross between a platypus and a flamingo. Nice shot.

No wonder he looks so sad. It looks like he's been spraypainted. Still, at least it matches the tag on his leg. Great shot though.
