A week ago I went with 3-4 photo buddies to the High Island Bird Sanctuary which is Southeast of Houston. We had a blast.

My only problem was that I couldn't capture a flying spoonbill at an angle where it would actually show the spoonbill.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hi Troy!

    Yes, the spoonbill is so special and that's why I was disappointed I didn't capture it in flight.
