Weekend Spoonbills
This past weekend we enjoyed watching two spoonbills feeding and preening in the salt marsh. It was mostly overcast conditions except for one brief moment when a spot of sun broke through the clouds and lit the spoonies with a nice warm sunset glow. As the tide came in they flew off to another section of the marsh and we followed. They obliged with just a few more photo opportunities until finally flying off to their night time roost.

What an amazing collection of photos! The sunset lighting is breath taking! You, my friend, are very good!
Wow thanks Molly! That golden sunset lighting is great when you can get it isn’t it?!
Glad you enjoyed these photos!
Oh my! What a nice treat after a busy day!!! When I found your website a couple of weeks ago, I was so excited because my mother and father had seen some Spoonbills at the coast and weren’t able to get any great photos. My mother is going to love these shots! So beautiful! Your use of lighting is unbelievable! We will have to call you Phil Lanoue-Photographer of Light! Thank you so much for posting these!!!
I’m so happy you and your folks have been enjoying my photos Carol!
Thanks very much for stopping by and leaving a super nice comment! I greatly appreciate it.
Great photos, Phil! Good to see them visiting the park once again.
Thanks Gareth. Apparently there is still one around somewhere but I couldn’t find it yesterday.
