"Rare Pink Bird Rediscovered in Green Bay After 178 Years"
Bird watchers are flocking to Green Bay, Wisconsin, in hopes of catching a glimpse of a roseate spoonbill, a southern shorebird last seen in the state almost 180 years ago. The bird was spotted in the Ken Euers Nature Area on July 26, attracting over 450 visitors. The roseate spoonbill, usually found in Gulf Coast states and Central and South America, is pink and resembles a football on stilts. It is unclear how the bird reached Green Bay, but experts believe it may have gotten lost or blown off course. The bird may spend several weeks in Green Bay before traveling around the Midwest and returning to the Gulf Coast.
