Rare Arizona Capture

We don't see these these birds in Arizona, but I was told this guy got stranded here due to a hurricane. Any ways, he is the only Roseate Spoonbill at the Gilbert Water Ranch, and I was very happy to have found him.

This poor fellow has been there for months now. I think I filled an entire memory card on him/her.
Love the reflection

This fellow was quite comfortable in front of so many photogs madly snapping images.
Here are a few captures from November 1st at Gilbert Riparian Water Ranch:

I think of spoonbills in south Florida, not Arizona.

Great set of captures, Dan
