Roseate Spoonbills

Florida's only native pink wading bird, and as I guess
you can tell, one of my favorite birds to photograph.

Beautful gallery - your roseate spoonbill photos are absolutely breathtaking. I just kept saying, "Wow!" over and over as I went from one photo to the next! Not only the birds, and the poses, but the reflections, the different lighting, the different colors of water, the different shades of pink in the feathers from photo to photo, the... everything! I am not a photographer, so I don't know how to "term" everything - all the different aspects of these photos that are so extraordinary. Great job! What a showcase. I would like to see these published in book form!

What a strange looking bird, it looks like something from a child's colouring book.
