I just can’t get enough of the brilliant pink Roseate Spoonbills, and most birders and visitors to our area feel the same way!
The young Spoonie above was getting his bearings on a tall snag on a recent gloomy late afternoon. Looked like he was trying to figure out how to avoid the impending rainstorm.
Four days later, this fellow was perched up on a different snag, enjoying the blue skies and bright morning sun. Ahhhh . . . . nothing like a fall walk through the wetlands in Florida ☀️
Such a treat to view these birds. Excellent photos, I particularly like the first one!

Gorgeous shots, Ellen! I love your spoony posts! I have never captured one in close range, so your close-ups are such a treat for me!
