Roseate Spoonbills

San Bernard Wildlife Refuge, TX view map

Pink Birds! We had never had the chance to see these beautiful pink birds in the wild,
but on our first visit to San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge we were fortunate enough
to see three and capture some shots as they flew off towards the Gulf Coast.

Sure hope they stay away from the LOUISIANA gulf coastline!
