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. ๐๐. We do get decent sized flocks of them so I try to get multiple birds in the same shot when possible. Itโs hard not to like these birds, they are like the rock stars when people see them ๐๐๐
They are always my favorite!!
You canโt help but love a big pink bird ๐
