Animal Wednesday - Roseate Spoonbill & Snowy Egret
Last month we had some excitment in the birding world here. We had the first confirmed State Record of a Roseate Spoonbill in IN. It was great excitement. It took two trips for my DB and I to find the bird in the marshy area where it was hanging out. It was with a Snowy Egret the day we saw it. HAW to you all.
