The first shots were all out of focus. Pretty soon though focusing got easier. They move faster than you would think too.

I’m not sure who flinched first.

Disaster averted.
Fun shots, though for a while he did look to be heading right at me.
Roseate Spoonbill.
The first photos made me laugh 🙂 Love his awkwardness, it’s so touching. Great photos of Spoonbill in flight!
I just knew he would miss me and stay higher up… and yet !!!!
First shot enlarged, the look of surprise shows!
Usually Spoonbill are not all that close, but recently had a few good opportunities like this 👍👍
Yikes!! 😅 Fantastic shots, Ted, and incredible timing!
Fun shots. Happened a few times recently 😃😃.
Great shots, Ted!! Amazing timing!
Hold the button, hope for the best 😂
