"Large, long-legged, fairly long-necked wading bird with a distinctive, flat, spoon-shaped bill ... Neck and upper back white; rest of plumage pink .... (Donald & Lillian Stokes, The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America. p. 138)"

"Roseate Spoonbills are well known as postbreeding wanderers to inland locations. They are rare to very rare visitors inland to the eastern third of the state during the summer and fall (Mark W. Lockwood & Brush Freeman, The TOS Handbook of Texas Birds, p. 37-38)"

The birds were fleeing the pond, and this image shows only the size and the distinctive coloring. They did have spoon-shaped bills.
