Morning Spoonbills
Some new Roseate Spoonbills arrived in the marsh pond this morning. Two adults were joined by several juveniles.
You can see how the adult is a deeper pink in color with a red “drip” on it’s shoulders, while the immature has whitish plumage tinged pale pink.

Wow what a great shot Phil, I think I’m going to try to get down there tomorrow real early to see if I can get a shot.
Thanks for sharing. Just love the lighting and the dark background really sets them off. WOW GREAT SHOT.
