No, this isn’t part of the marketing for “Barbie.”
The roseate spoonbill “looks like it came straight out of a Dr. Seuss book,” with pink feathers, red eyes, a partly bald head and a giant spoon-shaped bill,“This is a really large shorebird, that’s typically seen in the very southern part of the United States, There’s breeding colonies in Texas, Louisiana and Florida. So for one to come up here, it’s very rare. There’s actually only two records now of this bird being in the state and the last one before this was 1845,” Lasee said.
The birdwatcher said that the spoonbill is likely a child, and it’s probable the rare bird ended up in the Midwest due to recent weather events.
