End of Year Spoonbill

[Roman Kurywczak]

Taken in Everglades NP Monday late afternoon. Been busy chasing birds and landscapes down here in Florida...so this was the final one of 2008.
got him with a fish going down the hatch.....just like the year.
Canon Mark 3 with the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 700mm at f8 for 1/3200 sec. at ISO 800.

Hope for a Great and Healthy Year to you all!

Wow, you really find them, don't you :)
Love the water drops and colors, I'd like a little more room all around if you have it.

Beautiful light, beautiful bird(at least I think so) and beautiful action. What more can I say!

Great moment captured. Another vote for more room and wish for a bit more head turn.
