I think that's Beth's favorite bird the spoonbill.

oh yea, a spoonbill, yep, Beth's favorite bird

As far as I'm concerned, it 's just a bird wading in NON-FROZEN water. Wish I was there ... :lol:

It's not just any spoonbill - it's the Roseate Spoonbill. I LOVE them as they have already stated

Have pics of them in my rig. They don't get to much of the US, but they are in the Port Aransas area and south. Actually, the furthest north I know of them wondering has been up by Port Lavaca, where the idiot with a little rv park there calls them flamingos. Duh.

Glad you saw some - aren't they neat?

Thank you - I knew someone would know. He was the only one there with a bunch of herons and white garzas (cranes I think)
Also saw another strange one but didn't get a picture. He was sitting on the beach. Quite a bit bigger than a seagull, smaller than a pelican. Black back, white breast, long skinny gray bill, blue webbed feet and waddled like a penguin when he walked. But as I tried to get a picture he flew away and hasn't been back.

Perhaps a blue-footed booby?.

Thank you - that is sure what it looked like - wow what a day a Blue Footed Booby and a Rosetta Spoonbill - maybe I'll have to take up a new hobby
wish he would come back so I could get a picture.
Thanks again

here I was all set to guess that it was Beth's favorite bird and you all did it!!!
Enjoy feeding birds and looking to see what they are but don't get a picture very often not fast enough
I guess saw one to day that looked like a pigeon with a Mohawk a white one that is don't know what it was
