I received a text message early morning that a Roseate Spoonbill was being seen at Ken Euers Wetland Preserve in Brown County. Not a big surprise as this is probably the same bird that was found on July 26 near this location. This is SO RARE!! A bird that breeds in southern Texas and Florida and south here in the state! This species has not been seen in Wisconsin since the 1800’s! I jumped in the car and headed up to this location. When I arrived 2 hours later the bird was still present and it was resting on a berm a few feet above the water in the impoundment with a few Great Egrets. It rested over an hour before flying in a ditch out of sight and then walked over to an area where Great Egrets were feeding. The bird hung with them and fed with them. This bird was a couple 100 yards away so photos are distant. A nice life bird for the state of Wisconsin, #374. Thanks to the finder of this bird and getting the word out. I hope this bird hangs around for others to see. It was a beautiful day with milder temps, full sun and a little breeze. Images were taken on July 29, 2023.

Pretty surprising to see one here. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Wow what a find
Thank you for going after this bird and sharing this beautiful rare sighting here in Wisconsin. There are so many treasures in nature waiting to be discovered!
What a great find! Very nice photos.
I was there this morning, 07/30/33, and it was feeding along with the Egrets. There were a lot of people coming and going. Exciting bird to see up in Green Bay, WI.
Beautiful, but not very “roseate”! I guess we don’t have shrimp here….
