Very nice ,I envy you for living so near a place with so much birding opportunity. I am no expert but I like the space you gave them on the right to run in .

You mean these aren't Roseates!? Beautiful birds Lance. Where did you take these?

Thanks, guys.
Bill, I took these at Viera Wetlands. I drove up 95 from Boca to exit 191 Wickham Road and then west a couple of miles. The wetlands is actually part of Brevard County's Water Treatment Facility. Viera
The Cranes were striking, very impressive even though I was a good distance from them...hard for me to guesstimate, but I would say something like 70 yards away...maybe closer, but I couldn't judge the distance in the open field.

6 repliesI took a road trip north to see some Roseate Spoonbills, but apparantly they didn't get the memo.
No Roseates.
However, I did luck out as far as getting my first view of Sandhill Cranes.
Comments appreciated.
