Loud, Chaotic, Beautiful, And A Rare Sight

November 15, 2018 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 4 Comments

Something set them off and they all took to the air at the same time. It was deafening and amazing, there was at least a thousand taking off at the same time.

What makes this even more special are the mix of birds and how not that long ago this might never have happened.

Wood Storks were endangered and almost gone, Roseate Spoonbills would stay in Central / South America, and some Egrets were hunted to almost extinction.

Yet here they were, all together in front of my camera.

I have added images to a gallery to allow large detailed viewing.

A photograph taken that actually benefitted from the dark day.

There was no sunrise to photograph. I actually think this was better.

Spoonbills, Wide Image

Best viewed full screen.

There were many big pink birds here. I shot as wide and close as I could.

Bowl Of Roseate Spoonbills

This may be one of the nicer photographs of a group of Spoonbills taken this year. It can be difficult to get large groups in focus. The fall marsh background colors worked well too.

What I really like is each bird is facing the camera and doing something, well most are.

A Morning View In A Marsh

This is a scene I walked up to the other morning. Peaking over the tops of the tall reeds you could see thousands of wading birds feeding. In truth I could hear them long before.

The water around here was lowered the previous day by the Dept. Natural Resources. A temporary draining of marshes helps clean out vegetation. It takes 24 hours for the large birds to start showing up.

Every species I could think of was around the area this last week.
