A rare bird has been spotted at the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge that is usually only seen along the southeastern coast.
The bird, a juvenile Roseate spoonbill, was spotted by bird watchers.
The younger birds are white in color while adults begin to turn pink as they age.
There are only six species of spoonbills globally and one in America.
