    Default Roseatte Spoonbill in flight

    Here's another image from my travels of the last few weeks. The spoonie came up rather unexpectedly and I was fortunate to turn around and get the camera up quickly enough to capture this image just as the bird flew past me. I was actually surprised that it was well focused under those circumstances. Photo Details: Canon 1D Mark II N with 100-400L IS lens at 130mm, 1/2500 at f7.1, ISO 400, with flash and better beamer with flash exposure compensation at -1 2/3.

    Image was captured at the rookery at the St Augustine Alligator Farm last Saturday. I have heard that some folks from this forum are planning to converge on the Alligator Farm on the weekend of May 3-4, and I hope this is correct. If so, I hope to meet some of the folks from this forum there.
