2026—Whoopee!

When I saw this image, the word that immediately came to mind was “whoopee!” To me it is a gleeful representation of the impossibly pink Roseate Spoonbill. There were several pairs of nesting Roseate Spoonbills in a rookery at the Orlando Wetlands and this bird had just left nest duty and was stretching its wings in an apparent show of relief and joy at being off duty for the time being. Of course, now the responsibilities are to find food and the an additional stick or two to build up the sides of the nest as the chicks grow but the bird can finally stretch its wings and move!
