I think these are a much cleaner landing series than the last few published. The Spoonbill here decided to not land in the middle of the flock.

It was pretty a pretty smooth touch down though.
Roseate Spoonbill, ACE Basin, South Carolina.
What a beautiful sequence!
Thanks. This was on a busy day and I stumbled on the perfect spot… and had the patience to stay there LOL.
