FOR WORLD BIRD WEDNESDAY. Thanks to Dave (Springman) at Pine River Review for hosting.
Roseate spoonbills -- the most we've ever seen at once -- played hide-and-seek with us at Big Cypress National Preserve last weekend.

cool bird. I did see it in Costa Rica but only from far away. So I am happy to see your shots.

Great looking birds - trees can be such a pain at times!!
I like your comment on another blog about it being "nature, not Disneyland" - I think people can get a bit dewy eyed at times. Natures tough, always has been, always will be.

Great photos. The Roseate Spoonbills are such a beautiful color.

Spoonbills are beautiful birds. It must have been exciting to see and photograph so many.
Posted by: Pat | April 10, 2012 at 09:24 PM
Beautiful birds, so sweet.

Very interesting birds indeed.
So fasinating to see those long beaks in action.
Pelican feeding here at the beaches always is
something well worth watching when at beachside
eateries or restaurants. Lots of places have special times for this for people to go and watch. Makes a lot of sense really, people go to watch and then they also eat!

They are colorful birds. We once visited Ding Darling and they were the only birds we saw.

During the time when I first arrived in Singapore, we lived near the Singapore bird prk. I bought an annual pass, and took my girls there every sat.

Those are so pretty. We have nothing like those here so this is fun seeing them!
