Spoonbill out on a Limb

Gallery: AvianPosted May 28, 2012164 views8 comments

From Saturday at Smith Oaks. There were lots of Roseates, Cattle Egret, Great Egret, Snowies, Tricolors and Cormorants, plus a few BC Night Herons. The plain sky and angle of lighting weren't doing me any favors, but I kind of liked the pose and perch. 77% of original. Larger image included.

Like it a lot, Bill. Good pose, and the reds really show well against the sky.
