Animals Birds Spoonbill Hauls Massive Nesting Stick To Nest
A roseate spoonbill flies in with large nesting material back to its nest at Orlando Wetlands in Christmas, Florida, on March 14, 2026. Males gather sticks while females build the bulky platform nests in colonies over water; both parents incubate 2-4 eggs for 22 days and regurgitate shrimp, fish, and crustaceans to feed downy chicks until fledging at 6 weeks.
