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...

Nice capture Ira..love that first shot!

Spoonbills, one of my favorite florida waders.

Very good environmental series Ira ,one of these days im going to make it back to Florida , i would love to photograph one of these guys :)

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.
