A rare pink spoonbill spotted in Massachusetts likely got off course in storm winds.

A rare roseate spoonbill, known for its pink feathers and spoon-shaped bill, was spotted in Marshfield, Massachusetts—the second time the bird has been seen in the state. Typically found in southern coastal areas like Florida and Texas, the bird likely veered off course due to winds from a nor’easter. Experts believe it may be disoriented but could rest and return to warmer habitats. The sighting thrilled local birdwatchers and photographers, with images shared widely online.
