A Roseate Spoonbill's pink color is due to iodine in it's diet. A good food supply is good for color.
This one seems to be well fed.
There is a Snowy Egret hiding behind the spoonbill, it didn't want to pose.

What a gorgeous picture. I did not know where the color came from, just assumed it to be the nature of the bird. I really enjoy your pictures. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for the ping SWAMPSNIPER. Do Flamingo’s also get their color from Iodine in their diets. I thought I’d read that years ago.

What an absolutely beautiful picture, even if the egret was shy.
Thank you!
