Migration is not in full swing yet in High Island. There were lots of very pink spoonbills but not many egrets or ibises at Smith Oaks. Alligators were out in large numbers. A few turtles and a bullfrog also enjoyed a sunny day by the water.
These spoonbills had a much darker shade of pink than the ones I saw in the Fall '08 at Addicks. I noted that some birds had some orange feathers on their tails and wings - mating plumage, I learned.
