    Merritt Island Spoonbills

    Took a little trip to the MINWR today, and found that the water levels are about as low as I have ever seen it. Also, I came upon some Roseate Spoonbills, so I had to take a few shots even though the lighting was harsh midday sun.

    Very nice shots, definitely a strange looking bird. At least to a prairie boy...

    Nicely done. I love the Spoonbills even though I only get to see them at the Bird house at the Bronx Zoo. I'm enjoying these.
