Spoonbills at Fort Desoto

[Allan]

The north lagoon at Ft. Desoto has been pretty slow recently. While I have been here for a while I felt bad for people who only had a day or two to spend here this week, especially those coming from afar.
Yesterday, the number of birds picked up, albeit just common birds like willets and gulls. Today, a spoonbill graced us with its presence.

Beauties Allan, all of them. The spoonies have to be one of my favorite birds.

Really like the headshot in #3...!

I like bird portraits when they are looking right at you. The only better ones I have is with a partially opened mouth.

Nice! I will be at Ft DeSoto much later....early May. Time will tell whether or not I get decent photo ops.

Your images are very nice. #2 and # are solid work! Congrats!

I look forward to seeing the photos you take. I have only been here in February and early March.

Great shots as always Allan. You seem to really like that area. (But those are flamingoes.)
