Roseate Spoonbills

On Saturday July 8 I decided to head over to Hornsby Bend to help out with the monthly bird count. This is held the second Saturday of every month and has been since 2000. It's a great way to help out at my favorite birding location.
Since I was getting there after the group had already left the gathering point, I thought I could be the most help by counting the Egrets on pond 1W since there are so many there. Boy was I surprised to find 4 Roseate Spoonbills there! They must have been migrating and stopped to catch their breath.

By Sunday morning they were gone. What a thrill though!
