The Roseate Spoonbill Ajaja ajaja is a beautiful red bird with a huge spoon-shaped bill. Being in the Discovery Cove aviary allowed me to get a great close-up photo of the bluish bill 1717. Photos 3542 and 3544 were taken at the “Ding” Darling NWR, FL.
Photos 1159 and 1162 were taken at the LA Zoo.

The 7000 and 8000 series photos were taken at the Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary rookery at High Island, TX in mid April at the hight of breeding season. THis accunts for the vivid coloring of the birds.
