These were taken after sundown in the pouring rain....which is still better than a sunny day at work :)

Nice shots, Scott. I think I have seen more spoonbills at MINWR than anywhere else. I'll see if the Everglades can match it.

Thanks Stan...we saw a flock of 50-70 and it was a real treat. I hope you find even more in the Everglades!

Great shots of a great bird, Scott. Those pinks never cease to amaze me.

Great shots Scott. They always look good when seen wading but even better in flight.

The more I look at the second one the more I like it Scott. The beautiful saturation of colours is it's strong point.

Thanks Joe...less light sure helps improve the colour saturation. Maybe the rain does too :)

Nice shot, I love Merritt Island. It is a truly unique place and always
peaceful.

Thanks Gary, we'd never been to the reserve before and really enjoyed it. We'll be back again next year for sure.
