There were several groups of Spoonbills, and they could not stay in one spot after a while. While only one gathering was close and visible the birds flew nearby to join the salt marsh.
It’s not like I was standing and waiting patiently. If I did they would have found a new path for sure. I just kept alert, missed a few flights, but ultimately captured a few too.

Best viewed large in the gallery below. They are unique birds.
Great action shots Ted.
Thanks 😁. There has been some days that help make up for the doldrums we have had in the marshes this year. Not whining mind you, I still know a bad day here would be amazing back in New England 😄
