Roseate Spoonbill Feeding...
I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. When there is a dry/drought in the winter and spring the ponds dry up at Circle B. The water level drops and the small fish and crustaceans are trapped into pools that get smaller and smaller. Somehow the wading birds know, they are attracted like magnets to iron. I have only seen it a few times in the years I have been photographing at Circle B. Isolating a single bird is a challenge to overcome there are so many birds. Comments and critique welcome and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
