delaware history on the wing…
Here is the first Roseate Spoonbill ever reported in Delaware. About two weeks ago this colorful pink bird – whose range normally would be along the Gulf coast from Texas to Florida – landed near Fenwick Island. Another was reported this week farther north along the Delaware Bay coast. This bird has been feeding in the salt marsh with Snowy and Great Egrets.

My adult sons and I spotted this magnificent bird sitting on a bare branch of a tree at Fenwick Island on July 4th. But we did not see it soaring gracefully in flight as Kevin Fleming captured in his superb photo.
