This young spoonie seems to have imprinted on the adult ibis - never more than a few steps away the entire afternoon I was at this nature area in Texas last year.
My two favorite beaks!

Great moment of capture and focus to get the eyes so sharp on both. God Bless Texas

Interesting image with the interplay between different species of adult & youngster Sandy.
I like the the concentric ripple pool at center frame, and the OOF grass FG adds here IMO.
Which nature area in Texas BTW?

Yes, the Spoonbill does look a little confused.

Neat shot, Sandy.

Interesting take on the imprint, and good image of this "odd couple" Sandy.

Great beaks, the Ibis doesn't seem to mind.
