About This Activity
Nothing is quite as beautiful as watching shades of pink and white glide across the sky when Roseate Spoonbills grace us with their presence. Similar to flamingos, their feathers turn pink thanks to a crustacean-fueled diet—but their name comes from the unique shape of their bill. It’s hard to pick just one wading bird to celebrate, but spoonbills have our hearts this week! We’ll visit J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge’s Wildlife Drive, race in egg-and-spoon relays, build spoonbills out of rose tellins, and get creative with pink tie-dye. So, grab your binoculars, spotting scopes, and your best bird ID book—we’re heading out on a birding bonanza!
