Nothing like Ian's trip to the Sunshine State, but I did manage a few days out with the camera while down there this week. Enjoy and thanks for looking!

Great photos of Spoonbills. They are my new favorite bird. Your birds are very vibrant. Some nesting Spoonbills I photographed weren't quite as pinkish. I wasn't as close for great bif opportunities. Nice set!

Great shots Chris. I haven't seen many Spoonbills on this side of the state this winter.
