An Indian and a Gypsy

Yesterday started out a nice sunny day,getting warmer through the morning. So we got our sun tan lotion on and went down to get some sun and a dip in the pool. It was not to be,when we got down there they had a sign"pool closed". The chlorine pump was burned up and another is on order coming in today,oh well. So we had to walk and off to John Chestnut Park we went. As we walked out one trail we saw the usuall squirrels,birds and fish in the water.

On the way back was when we saw three Roseate Spoonbill bird, this is the first time for seeing this bird.
The roseate spoonbill spends a lot of its time in shallow water feeding. It sweeps its open bill from side to side in the water to sift up food like small fish, shrimp, mollusks, snails and insects. It has touch receptors in its bill that help it feel its prey. Like the flamingo, the roseate spoonbill's pink color comes from the food it eats. Some of the crustaceans it eats feed on algae that give the spoonbill's feathers their rosy pink color.
All days are good,just some are better. Love to get out in the forest to see all the creatures.
Hope your day is challenging and rewarding.
