SpoonBill Flight


	Spoonbill Flight These birds are so beautiful. I got so lucky to have had 2 days to shoot them because after the 2 days we had a big rain. The birds have been gone ever since. I am so grateful to have had the experience of watching them as well as getting some great shots. You don't see these guys around much anymore. Cheryl E. Molennor

What a great photo! The focus on the head and neck and the blur caused by its wing flaping makes us see this SpoonBill flying!

Magnificent capture of this roseate spoonbill, Cheryl. Love the position you caught and the blur of the wings--an image to die for (well, not quite, but it's a great one!). Saw this in Editor's First Picks.
