It’s always great to watch a professional at work. The skill is always impressive.

A little ways off a Roseate Spoonbill had landed on a sand bar. The ‘rock star’ drew a crowd of bike riders traveling by.

And so the thief moved in. Not drawing any attention, but in plain sight too.
He was very good and fleeced the owner in record time.

I of course, in true journalist tradition, documented the crime and moved off keeping my source ID private.
A very professional thief who developed excellent skills of stealing 🙂
LOL, good at what he does.
Incredibly brilliant birds. You got some great shots, but we still might have trouble picking out the thief in a photo line up! They all look so similar! Great shots and story!

It’s all part of their skill set.
