    Beautiful! Yes!

    Wonderful light and supurb captures? Yes!

    You ever seen the goof-balls land on a branch? No? Well they always over-balance and teeter forward - they are NOT graceful! Must be their exceltionally long face....

    Thanks gale! Brings back fond memories of shooting in florida

    Haha they are a bit funny looking for a bird.

    Thanks david! Good to hear from you..where have you been hiding:biggrin:

    Thanks a bunch glacier.

    Thanks Louie..I was glad and blessed to see so many on my trip.

    Hey mike! Venturing into the bird forums ehh:wink: :biggrin: I have another spoony with the colors of the last one and reflection of the first but its a bit of a tighter crop and the water colors are somewhat darker than the first. I will print one though that is for sure..decisions decisions:biggrin:

    Thanks frank! I have been enjoying your merritt shots and other users merritt shots as well.

    Pretty colors, nice shots, Jonathan!

    I have to admit I have mixed feelings about this species ... looks a little dinosaur-ish and scary. :eek:  I don't see them over here ... maybe if I were used to them I'd realize they're okay?!
