I am posting to get some information of your Roseate Spoonbill in Greene County. There have been 4 spoonbills at Rocky Fork Lake in Southwestern Ohio since late July. I had gone up there to visit and photograph them for several weeks. This past Friday the 4 were still present as I called the lake to check. I then didn't get to visit Saturday so I went up Sunday. At that time there was only 1. Several of us searched off and on over a period of several hours and could not locate the other three. As of today the "lone ranger" is gone. As the appearance of your spoonbill is just after the disappearance of three at Rocky Fork, several people have wondered if it could be one of them. I took some pictures from a boat of the spoonbills which in an enlarged version show detail of the legs/knees with all present in the picture. I will include the webpage below. I was wondering if there was any way to contact Don Miller and/or the photographers to get a copy of one of their photographs to compare. Thanks so much for your time.
