We have always tried to start the spring season with a trip down to the Florida coast. Breeding begins a little earlier there.
Shooting rookeries there is a good way to shake the rust off. It’s very forgiving. There’s always another great opportunity if you mess up, always something to learn.
Roseate Spoonbills were in good numbers and gave us the yearly ‘bath time’ shows. Loud flapping and water flying, as always. Of course I took way more shots than I needed.

Roseate Spoonbill bathing.
A little action is always nice.
LOL, yeah. I get a bath scene about once a year. I think last week I caught a communal bath with all kinds of big birds together. A circus…
You can never take too many spoonbill photos 😊. These are great!
I must have close to a thousand right now to dig through ! That is a bit much. However, Ellen shot even more I think LOL
Beautiful Ted.
Thanks. It’s become a yearly tradition, spy on their bathing since we know where to look 😂😂.
