Diving In
This past weekend a spoonbill comes diving down looking for a perfect spot to land!
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.

Wonderful picture!!!!! I think of you two week ago because I went to the Paris’ zoo and there is a greenhouse with spoonbill free in there . So they fly just aver our heads. But it is better in their own nature.
Have a nice day Phil
They really are fun birds to see!
Thank you for looking and commenting Sophie!
Beautiful shot, Phil. I just can’t get enough of these spoonbills!
That’s the funny thing about these birds, I can never get enough of them either. Despite the fact I have a ton of photos of them, if any come around I’m right back out there taking more. 😀
The spoonie who thought he was a pelican.
That’s the first thing I thought of too!
Great capture ! and the cropping is just about perfect …………….
Well… it’s close to perfect. 😛
Glad you like this photo and thanks for your assistance.
Fabulous shot, Phil.
Thank you Sylvia, I appreciate it.
Perfect position to show off its bill and colour. Then again these guys seem to look pretty well in most any position.
Yeah thanks, I like when they turn in flight so that you can see that spoon shaped bill. Sometimes they cooperate.
Beautiful shots!!!
Thanks a bunch for checking it out!
Perfect!
Thanks much I appreciate that!
What a wonderful action shot, Phil! You never fail us!
I’m happy you enjoyed this spoonie pic Maggie!
Beautiful capture! Phil, your shots are always very special! Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate the kind words!
Wonderful capture.
Glad you liked seeing our pink friend!
Great shot of one of the pink guys. It shows all his fun parts, the feet (those feet!), the beautiful pink , the wings, and of course his bill! I can look at these guys all day.
I know, those feet get you every time! 🙂
I can’t help always watching and taking more photos of these fun pink guys!
Wow a fantastic capture love the colour, well done ☺
Thank you very much for looking and commenting. 🙂
Beautiful bird – great action shot!
I truly appreciate the kind words, thanks very much!
Any sports photographer can produce technically great stop-action photographs, but your masterful use of composition, light, and suspended animation require the eye of an artist. Beautiful, soulful work here! 🙂
