    Roseate Spoonbill

    I judged this spoonbill to be in its second calendar year (SY) based on its fully feathered head and smooth pale bill. Adults have a naked head with a black band across the nape. They also have a darker more roughly corrugated bill. Pink coloration is derived from carotenoid pigments in their...

    This elegant species was formerly placed in the monotypic genus Ajaja which is the Tupí name for the bird (pronounced Ayayá). This photo shows the unique spatulate bill shape. Adults, such as this, have bare skin on the head which varies from greenish to rich buff. Notice the black border...

    Second Spoonie

    and a much closer viewing than my first. I'm not sure why this one was on his own, tucked away in a quiet corner. There was a whole "bouquet" of them on a sandbar in the next lagune. Perhaps this one didn't feel welcome among them ...? And, is "bouquet" the collective word...
