Roseate Spoonbills Visit Lakes of Jacaranda in Venice, Florida

Roseate spoonbills made a surprise visit to feed in the ponds in the Lakes of Jacaranda community in Venice, Florida. They attracted a crowd of spectators because of their unusual pink colors and created quite a buzz of conversation. Several visitors were overheard saying how beautiful the “flamingos” were which gave the locals quite a chuckle.

They made repeated visits for several days and then moved on.
