This is a perfect example of the beauty in any animal, no matter how "silly" it may seem to people. What a gorgeous bird.

You're really great at capturing animals at just the right moments. ^^

You know, that's the first shot of a spoonbill I've ever seen where the bird actually looks beautiful, as opposed to awkward and goofy. Wonderful shot!
