The roseate spoonbill was at Wakodahatchee for a couple of weeks and made a surprising appearance on the island where the GBH are nesting.

All comments are much appreciated. Thanks.

Gorgeous colors and good dof. I would like to have seen a little more of his right wing and wish the sky was bluer and not so gun metal. I also wish I knew what he was about to land on if only a hint of.

Great light, pose and details. Maybe just a bit NR on the BG.

You all are making me anxious for my upcoming FL trip! Great color, pose and light on this image.

To be really really picky, I see a tiny halo on the feet.

Judy, you are making me increasingly jealous, both of your being there and of your amazing skill at flight shots. Keep em coming.

I love this image and spent a while admiring it. To me it appears that you captured the exact moment in time when this magnificent bird spotted you and wished it could fly in reverse. Awesome!
