    Fist thing I said is not repeatable here

    Really amazing shots !!!

    Beautiful birds those spoonbills

    Every time I see a nice shot of one of them my lust to shoot one is increased a bit

    The small white line around the green heron are mosquitoes ?

    And a great Caracara as well

    Very nice series of images! I often have a problem getting the whites on the neck of the Spoonbill to not get blown out. Your Spoonbills look great especially the second bird.
