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!

I know you're probably tired of hearing me say this, but I love this shot so much. I'm so glad you got to capture what makes Florida awesome... even if it was for a measly 3 days.

This shot is amazing! Look at those wings!!!
Wow I have never seen this type of bird before, it has the weirdest looking beak I've ever seen! Haha.
Do you know why it's shaped like that? I'm a little confused haha.
