Roseate Spoonbill(Ajaia ajaja)
is limited to southern Florida and the gulf coast of Texas
for the most part, but some juvenile birds wander north out
of Mexico.
This bird was seen and photographed on September 27, 2008,
at the Water Ranch in Gilbert, AZ. There were a few
solitary reports from the same location over the next week
or so, but most people who looked for this bird did not
find it.
