10 pics - Spoonbill on Aruba

Dick on Aruba · July 30, 2006

My excuses for being such an irregular member of this forum. I like to comment on
your work and to be commented on but time is not in my favor right now.

One thing I try to keep high on my priority list: practicing photography!
So…here some of Satherday. I hope you like them as much as I.

Never seen a Spoonbill on Aruba before and I’m so lucky to got a few keepers because
I had to shoot hand held with strong wind.

Fine work!
The Spoonbill population seems to be increasing, and they are spreading out. We have a breeding colony here in N.E. Florida now, and a few years ago you couldn't find a single bird. BTW, your GBH is actually a Tricolored Heron.
