Wading Bird Assembly

In another post I mentioned the "feeding frenzy" of wading birds. This is not a particularly good picture in terms of IQ, but its content is amazing to me.

There are 7 species in this photo. Clockwise from top center (12 o'clock):
1 reddish egret (12 o'clock)
2 tricolor heron (1 and 6 o'clock)
3 little blue heron (3 and 9 o'clock)
4 great egret (4 o'clock)
5 yellow-crowned night heron (11 o'clock)
6 roseate spoonbill (right center)
7 snowy egret (center)

Also at this site but not pictured were
8 great blue heron
9 black-crowned night heron
10 wood stork
11 white ibis

nice capture. I wish I could find a place in my neck of the woods with that kind of variety!
