Very nice. I really like the reflections you captured with the shots, especially #2 and #3..

Gorgeous. They look just like are roseate spoonbills except for, well, the color.

Love the reflections and good job on the exposure.

...... a nice bit of glass, can be a tad slow shooting in the shadows, but overall great value

Nice.

I love spoon bills, they're so comical. The ones I've seen in this continent generally have pink bills, so yours are quite different.
