This juvenile Roseate Spoonbill was walking along where the marsh meets up with a wood line and several dikes. It’s also a spot with multiple island hummocks. Both dry land and water means birds, gators, a place for both to rest.

Getting in with the flocks means we also have to be on the dikes and wood line. I shoot this near a dirt road where there are places without tall grass. Grass here is a problem since it’s taller than a person and not a great place to wander through.
