Beginning…Middle…End
This afternoon we found out our one lone remaining spoonbill was still hanging around the salt marsh area when he came swooping in just after 3pm.
About an hour and a half later, spoonie jumped off and headed for the trees at the far back edge of the marsh pond no doubt with a pleasant nap in mind.
In between that, an osprey flew overhead looking pleased with his obviously very fresh catch safely tucked in for later dining.
Another active day over at the marsh. The ibis especially were having themselves a heck of a time bathing, crunching crabs and flying all over. More on them tomorrow.

Really cool shots
Glad you enjoyed them, thanks!
How I love these beautiful action shots, Phil!
Thank you Maggie! Did you notice spoonies muddy nose and muddy feet in the first picture? I’m surprised he didn’t bathe again. 🙂
I look forward to your post every day to see what going on at Huntington. Your images are excellent.
I appreciate that very much Anne, thank you!
Wow, wonderful photo series, the spoonbill shot is really gorgeous.
Stunning!
