The Roseate Spoonbill above was photographed at Metro Parkway extension in April 2012.My spare time to get into the field was again limited this week. Plans to visit venues in the late afternoon early in the week and the early morning late in the week were quashed by overcast conditions. I have learned with my visit to Metro that Roseate Spoonbills do not keep themselves as clean as other bird species through preening. A rare sighting of an immature Little Blue Heron sporting blue lores was made.
