I had some time on Thanksgiving day and took a trip to the Merritt Island NWR. It's one of my favorite places
for a lot of reasons. There were not a lot of birds but I did get to shoot a few.

I had a lot of areas with nothing and then I rode up on this:

Cool shot of a Roseate Spoonbill, the backlight shows the veins in the beak.

Nice shots but I agree, Number 3 is unique and cool.

Keep 'em flying,

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate them. Merritt Island is a great place and if you are in the Orlando area its a neat
place to visit.
