Doctors appt. today, got a few shots while waiting for the bus ride home. Most of these Roseate Spoonbills are young birds, the adults were at the other end of the pond where I couldn't go today.

I love those guys Swampsniper. What kind of spoonbills are they again kind Sir? I forgot. They are especially beautiful during mating time too. But aren’t we all :) Hope you are well.

In the mangrove islands surrounding Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel you can find droves of these guys in the evenings before sundown. Gorgeous! Glad you find them in your area. More photos please!

So, your doctor followed you to the bus stop and injected you?

Oh, my! Your work is perfect as usual. Every detail is sharp as can be, and the birds are really lovely.

It’s great to get sight of them, and that they let you get so close.

Thank you so much for the post and also for the ping.
