Spoonbill

I know I posted one last month, but I found this one perched on a branch and just loved him! I have found only 2 roaming around the lake.

Great shot - looks like he's posing for you!

Thanks John. They fascinate me too. They are quite shy and fly off when I get close usually.

@mccarth1 @eyesmile @thresheg @fjmom @elisasaeter @tjchapa @junep @hermann @moviegal1 @lindacarol @kathiecb @lealady @darthkitty @lynnilou @flyrobin Thanks all for sharing the joy of this beautiful bird. He wasn't posing for me but resting in the bush when I found him. Luckily I didn't frighten him away before I got a couple of shots. They are quite timid and fly away easily. I'm hoping that in spring I will be able to find a "teaspoon" bill :)
