Roseate Spoonbills make the most common photograph so much better.
Taken at Ding Darling wildlife preserve, Florida.

Finding A Small Crab, White Ibis
These small ‘Fiddler’ crabs are a perfect catch for an Ibis.
They can eat them quickly, before one of the nearby Gulls can jump in and steal it.
Working The Tide, Brown Pelican
I was about to give up on this Pelican. The tide might have been turning because there was no diving. The big lens gets heavy after a while and I was putting my arms down more and more. Sure sign it’s time to quit.
However at the last minute this bird made the turn.
While shooting this I didn’t notice the Pelican in the background. But it added to the images nicely.
And of course the best part, the full dive.
All the while that other bird hovered waiting for his chance.
Little Blue On The Shore
When I see a Little Blue Heron I don’t associate them with the ocean. Swamps, marshes, that’s where I always find them.
Yet he seems comfortable walking along the ocean.
Taken at Tarpon Bay, Florida.
Pelican, Ultimate Grand Entrance
It’s hard to beat this arrival.
At this moment he is the center of attention.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t last very long.
None of the others looked to impressed.
Maybe not them, but I certainly was.
Captures Of A Reddish Egret
It’s always rewarding photographing an animal so difficult to find.
Sad also since their numbers are dwindling so quickly.
A Splash, Pelican
Not every landing can be picture perfect…
Great Egret With A Small Treasure
These birds can work so hard to catch the smallest fish or insect.
Makes you wonder how many they actually eat.
