A Rosate Spoonbill was seen tonight at around 8:45pm in the middle of Cell 2. No telling if it's the same bird as before. Bald Knob NWR closes 1 hours after Sunset, which is currently around 8:30pm. Often birds fly into the fields at sunset and leave first thing in the morning. Sometimes they're resting during migration and sometimes they're spending their days elsewhere and feeding in the cells at night.
