Although roseate spoonbills nest
during winter in South Florida, the nesting season in Central Florida
doesn't begin until April.
In the Tampa Bay area, roseate spoonbills are nesting in the largest numbers counted since the 1800s. In recent years, 140 nesting spoonbills have been using two islands known as the Alafia Bank in Hillsborough Bay at the mouth of the Alafia River. Both islands are Audubon sanctuaries and can be seen only from a distance. This is one of the largest concentrations of nesting roseate spoonbills in the entire state.
