Roseate spoonbills are already feeling the effects of climate change, experts say. These unique birds – with dark pink feathers, red eyes and spoon-shaped bills - have been seen occasionally in at least 34 states and three Canadian provinces during summers over the past 20 years. They seemingly could turn up anywhere they find a pool of water suitable for swishing those broad bills back and forth for minnows and crustaceans. Spoonbill expert Jerry Lorenz, state director of research for Audubon Florida, attributes this remarkable expansion of the birds’ range to three things: They’re recovering after being nearly wiped out more than a century ago; they’re being pushed out of their shallow coastal water habitats by rising sea levels; and they're finding warmer temperatures to the north.
