Must Be Lost

dannac Loc: 60 miles SW of New Orleans
 
Standing in backyard this morning, could hear the sounds of a plane.

Staring looking and spotted this bird that was pretty high, but was going to pass overhead.

Probably a well known bird, but I have never encountered this type in my area.

Roseate Spoonbill. They are pretty common.

It's a Roseate Spoonbill, common in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana.

I've seen photos posted to UHH, but never this direct overhead view. How cool!

Hi Linda

It was a surprise ... occasionally will see an egret pass by, but have never seen that type in my area.
... and if not for the sound of the plane, doubt I would have seen it.

Flying pretty high, luckily had my longest lens.
