I love gerbils. I’m not sure why but they make me smile and bring me joy. This was my first. Her name was Gertie.

Yesterday’s image was the odd Ibis, with its curved bill and punctuated eye. Today we have the even more odd Roseate Spoonbill. The magnificent color of its feathers nearly caused the extinction of this extraordinary bird. In the early 20th Century the feathers were prized for women’s hats. What a sin it would have been to lose this beautiful bird for fashion.

White ibis feed in the marsh at Myakka River State Park. It is a common species in Florida and among my favorite. Their whimsical appearance always makes me smile.
