They’re also common in parts of Central America and South America. The birds typically spend their time in warmer, southern climates along the Gulf of Mexico, like southeast Florida and southwest Texas. To spot a roseate spoonbill so far north is extremely unusual. Historical records indicate that a dead roseate spoonbill was found in the state’s Rock County in 1845, making this the first time anyone has seen the species-dead or alive-in the Badger State in 178 years, reports Jeff Bollier for the Green Bay Press-Gazette. This unusual occurrence marks the first time anyone has reported seeing a living roseate spoonbill in Wisconsin.
A roseate spoonbill-a leggy bird with a wide, flat beak and distinctive pink coloring-has been hanging out near Green Bay in the northeastern part of the state in recent days. Midwestern birders are rejoicing after a rare and conspicuous water bird touched down in Wisconsin.
