LHG_1841Roseate Spoonbill with fish

Walked the rabbit run trail at Circle Bar B Preserve today. Found many varieties of my feathered friends along the way. I was surprised to watch this roseate spoonbill scoop up a fish and down it. I have not seen one scoop up a fish before. Roseate Spoonbills forage in shallow waters typically less than 5 inches deep. They sweep their partly opened spoon-shaped bill through the water, feeling and looking for crustaceans such as shrimp, prawns, aquatic insects, and fish.
Wow, excellent shot
