Roseate Spoonbill

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken yesterday at Wakodahatchee. We have had one spoonbill in the area for the past couple of days and just as I was preparing to leave this little flash of pink caught my eye.

Oh wow. Well worth the wait. The clouds are a nice touch. I see some halo around the legs and under the bill.

jusssssst enough turn toward the viewer to not be a profile.
Nice position in the frame

pleasure to view even with the wee halos

[David Chauvin]

Love the moody lighting. There is a bit of haloing, but still a beauty as presented.

Judy beautiful wing position, colour and detail. It really pops against the cloudy sky. I hope to see one some day.

[Gayle Clement]

I love the eye, the wing position, and the hint of cloudy sky in the background. Beautiful.

[John Cooper]

Simply a superb capture Judy!!
Beautiful pose, detail, composition and with a great BG!
