Since the marsh water has been high most of this summer wading birds, like this Roseate Spoonbill, are moving around to new feeding spots. Like this one nearby to where we live. 😁
This is a young bird, the pink is just starting.
Another young bird joined the last shot, a Little Blue Heron wearing his white suit.
I was going to say that looks like a pretty pale Spoonie – think I read on one of your previous posts that they pink hue is not from diet but age.
Glad you spotted that. Flamingoes it’s the brine shrimp, Spoonies it’s the ‘suit of many colors’ so they can get lucky 😆
The reflections are amazing Ted.
Thanks. Amazing how some of the worse places to shoot come out so good. Mud, muck, and low light 😂😂😂
