  • Before the plume trade and South Florida's drainage for development, the Roseate Spoonbill was one of many bird species that dominated the skies and mangrove islands of Florida Bay. As flows to the Everglades were reduced by canal operations, Spoonbill populations suffered. Sensitive to small changes in their habitat, Audubon scientists established the Roseate Spoonbill as an indicator of the Florida Bay ecosystem. Everglades restoration efforts underway must increase volumes of freshwater flow to Florida Bay so the historic Spoonbill populations will return. Visit www.RestoreFlor... for more information.

    Save the Spoonbill, save their habitat. Protect the land water and resources on which they and other species depend. It’s their planet too. 🌎

    Have a small flock that come daily. Along with the wood storks.
    The fires last couple years have been taking their toll on the spoons and storks.
    Have had so many come by covered in soot.
    But they still bringing the fledglings around, so they are getting by.

      in Florida Bay? Sadly, these birds have gotten pretty rare in my experience, and you don't see "large flocks" like the video says. I've seen a few roseate spoonbills feeding with a large flock of white ibis in the Shark Valley area of the Everglades.

      Just south of Tampa /St. Pete area. Normally have two, but have up to 5 stop by. They are still a special surprise when they stop by, and add color to the yard. Also are getting those Black Crown Night Herons. Thought those were weird penguins at first. o.O
      To many Ibis, whistler ducks, and others to keep track of.
