Two Leave…Two Stay
Two juvie spoonbills jump off and leave the salt marsh earlier this week, while two adult spoonies remain behind to watch the departure.
I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.

Scatti rosa affascinanti. Bellissime foto, complimenti!!
Ciao, Pat
I’m happy you like the big pink birds Pat! 🙂
Wow, so beautiful double lift-off phil.
And do you have some news about the spoonbill that was ill?
Have a nice day
Thank you Sophie, glad you liked seeing double. 🙂
We have seen the injured spoonbill and he seems to be doing fine, the wounds appear to be healing nicely.
I love your photos of life in the marsh, I really enjoy following the storyline.
That’s great to hear Charlie, it’s what I really try hard to do, not just come up with photos, but hopefully a little story to go along with them. Thank you.
What a beautiful wing spread and color, perfect. Thank heaven the wounded spoonie is doing nicely, I knew he would…beautiful pictures and nature in the marsh.
Thanks a million Linda! Yes we were quite happy to see our injured pink friend doing well and his wounds which originally concerned us seem to be healing better then hoped for. 🙂
As always fascinated me. Thank you dear Phil, love, nia
I am happy you liked these photos Nia!
Spectacular lift offs, Phil. The two ‘left behinds’ look a bit envious that their friends are going off on vacation. 🙂
They do look a bit forlorn over being left behind, but maybe they think there is still tasty fish and shrimp to be had so no need to rush off early. 🙂
Great choreography! Love how the younger ones just look on… 🙂
It almost as if they rehearsed this routine because they sure have it nailed nicely!
