Getting in on the Spoonie action

[Doug Brown]

Since the spoonies seem to be everywhere on BPN these days, I thought I'd serve up one of my own. This one was taken in the water next to James Shadle's boat in January.

Doug:

Sharp, well exposed, nice head angle, shows off the eye well.

In a perfect world, I wish the water was a bit smoother, fewer reflections to draw the eye.

I get to try my hand at spoonies in a few weeks, so I am loving seeing all the variations possible.

Thanks

I like the details, eye contact, feeding behavior and angle in this one. It certainly looks like spoonbill week. :)

Hi Doug, everything has come together for you here - a well exposed spoonbill doing what sponnbills do best..!!
