This water is much higher than these Spoonbills want or need. It’s a surprise to see them feeding here at all. I can only assume there was something in the water and they didn’t need to sift the bottom.
Water at a depth of around their ‘knees’ is ideal.


Old rice fields, ACE Basin, South Crolina.
Incredible moments!
😁
I love the photo with the three of them. Great photo!
Thanks. 😁😁. We do get decent sized flocks of them so I try to get multiple birds in the same shot when possible. It’s hard not to like these birds, they are like the rock stars when people see them 😂😂😂
They are always my favorite!!
You can’t help but love a big pink bird 😁
