First successful nests ever in Arkansas
Naturalists and state wetlands managers have discovered and photographed Roseate Spoonbills nesting and raising young birds in Arkansas for the first time ever. Is it climate change? Is it global warming? Habitat restoration? Will they move further north to nest into Missouri, and then Illinois, Indiana and southern Ontario. White-faced Ibis have also joined the Spoonbills by nesting in Arkansas for the first time ever. It is becoming more and more evident that North American bird migration patterns are changing in numerous ways. The new northern nesters will still easily winter in the Caribbean, is it a new future for all living things. We shall see what we shall see.
