The roseate spoonbill is my favorite Southwest Florida bird by far. I have seen them often throughout my stay here in Southwest Florida but didn’t know what they were until I took Environmental Biology of Southwest Florida. Once I learned about them and how they mainly live in mangrove areas I began to see them a lot. I visit Pelican Bay in Naples often and there are so many mangroves in that area it is hard to visit and not see a roseate spoonbill. Once I researched a little about them I found that In 2006, a banded bird 16 years old was discovered, making it the oldest wild individual, which I thought incredibly interesting especially today when were are losing to many species.
