OK, so it wasn’t the most graceful take off. It wasn’t planned though. More like a push off the tree.
The Spoonbill was minding his own business when another did the typical ‘king of the hill’ thing they do. The first bird pretty much just fell into the air.
Like I said, no points here for style.
He did recover nicely and moved off to another spot in the island rookery.
Christmas, Florida.
(BTW, Christmas is a town)
These birds caught my attention. Thanks Anita
The Spoonbill will certainly do that 😂😂.
Yes, a little awkward take off but still beautiful. They are still so elegant. Great photos and very interesting.
Thanks. Not as clear as I would like, but a fun scene 😂
These birds are unbelievably watchable & stunning in whatever pose you catch them in!
They are unique in many ways. A rock star of birds LOL
I love these photos.
Thank you. Heading out to find a few more in minutes. Love the big pink 😁😁
They have such great personalities in your photos. Can’t wait to see more.
