Roseate Spoonbill-Platalea ajaja
Gorgeous at a distance and bizarre up close is the Roseate Spoonbill. Locally common in coastal Florida, Texas, and southwest Louisiana, they are usually in small flocks, often associating with other waders. Spoonbills feed in shallow waters, walking forward slowly while they swing their heads from side to side, sifting the muck with their wide flat bills. Male and female roseate spoonbills are similar in appearance and colour, although males are slightly larger. It is long-legged, long-necked and has a bald head that is pale green in appearance, with a white neck, breast and back. The rest of the plumage is mostly various shades of pink, with dark reddish-pink wing and upper tail feathers. The roseate spoonbill is seasonally monogamous, but is not known to keep the same breeding partner year after year. This species is thought to have a lifespan of between eight and ten years. The oldest known roseate spoonbill reached 16 years of age.

Trivia- (The Lovin' Spoonful were among the first American groups to challenge the domination of the British Invasion bands in the mid-'60s. Between mid-1965 and the end of 1967, the group was astonishingly successful, issuing one classic hit single after another, including "Do You Believe in Magic?," "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," "Daydream," "Summer in the City," "Rain on the Roof," "Nashville Cats," and "Six O'Clock.")
