Pink in flight - Roseate Spoonbills on the wing

[Canon_Bob]

Here's a few from this morning. Good day for flight shots, as the Spoonbills were quite active. All were in very early morning light. All were at ISO 200, f/5.6, and shutter speeds around 1/1000 with the Canon 1DsMII and 100-400L zoom. Enjoy!





This one is my favorite of the morning. Head on at fairly close range. Tough to shoot and keep in focus. Nailed it!




This one is cropped out just a bit to show you the fish freaking out as he flies over.
