Spoon Bill - Got to Get this itch

            Only if this bird's bill was more pointy and not shaped like a spoon, he would have gotten that tic or that itch taking care of. Funny, he was doing this same spot for minutes non-stop. The plumage is high and the pinckish colors are vivid. He is in his prime mating season, trying to attract the other gender.

Spoonbills are large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. 

All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill, it is snapped shut.
