My first roseate spoonbills

[Baxter]

Just back from a week in the Everglades. Spent one whole day searching for roseate spoonbills and found them in two locations. They were nesting at Paurotis Pond in the Flamingo area but were too far away for anything but a few distant flight shots. Later found a small flock off the Tamiami Trail near the road. Light was not ideal, but good enough. Always exciting to add a bird to the photo collection.

Like Al said, nice set under those harsh lighting conditions. It's always nice to come home with some keepers.

Plus, you got to witness some sweet RS activity in the wild.

You did good Baxter. I like them.

Congrats. There are a few places near here that have them...some have nests already.
