And the cool thing is, it comes with it's own spoon(s)!

These things are so cool... their nostrils are in their upper beak... so they can breathe under water.....

And when I read this post I immediately thought of one of my favorite places in Port Lavaca near where I live.

The Roseate Spoonbill Gallery is a wonderful place next door to a fun garden/bar/restaurant, called The Green Iguana.

If you are ever in the area, you must visit this unique gallery.

Another photo of Roseate Spoonbills.

I have taken lots of photos of them in our area, but it is always exciting to spot some.

I think they would need a spork.

Susan, can't believe you've never seen them, I've seen them every time I've been in Florida!

Then again I actually spend much of my time looking for birds, so I guess that isn't surprising

I looked them up on the net just now and learned that they get their pink color from the crustations they eat...

that's where flamingos get their pink color also...I've seen flamingos that are not pink, also

Florida, as well as most of the Southeast Coast have some of the top bird sanctuaries...

get a Field Guide to the Birds of Florida...you'll be amazed at what you find....
