Spoonbill

That is the company logo.

This weekend I saw 8 Spoonbills take off in a marsh. The pink was striking with all of them at once.

Yesterday, Kaley and I saw another. She got a kick out of how it ate... swooshing its bill from side to side.

Reminds me of how you eat...no, just kidding!

I really like the goofy feet... reminds me of how you walk :P Just kidding!

This logo is really embarrassing.

I put the "poo" in Spoonbill.

I'm still trying to figure out why I named it that. I had to do something that didn't quite make sense... so it is like a problem I see being solved.

But listen, for real, if you've ever seen a bunch of Spoonbills feeding together in muddy swamp then flying off together... I'm telling you, it rocks.

And I tell you what, if I could get Mark, Benji, Joel, Trae, Robert and I working together... that would be the dream team. I know there is nothing we couldn't do.

It's 1:58am, so I can dream.

I think it is the perfect name. I really do walk like that sometimes! When they eat, is it all loud and splashy and crazy?

Not really loud, splashy and crazy.

They walk around in shallow water rhythmically swooping their bills from side to side on the bottom. The spoon shape is actually for detecting shrimp or whatever as they drag it through the bottom.

It is an interesting site to watch a whole bunch of them bobbing and swooshing about.
