I just love these Roseate Spoonbills, and never get tired of watching them. All comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated! I am still getting used to a new camera, and can use all the help I can get. Best, Pam

    Oh Pam! I've always wanted to see one of these. How lucky are you to live near them! What a beauty, and what beautiful photos you captured of him. Congrats!

    Best wishes,

    Thanks, Pear! Of course, I'm jealous of that beautiful duck you posted recently, as I never yet gotten a great photo of one. Of course, I'm not willing to wait in a blind, after my mother-in-law told me she was joined by an alligator the last time she did that! I'm for learning from the previous generation's experiences! Best, Pam

    Thanks, Randy! I can't take credit for the colors--those Roseate Spoonbills do that all by themselves!

    Best, Pam

    Thanks, Robert. Before I ran into Harry, I used to blow the highlights all the time, as perfectly white seemed like a perfectly good color to me. Thanks for checking these out for me. Best, Pam

    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!"

    Very good series of images Pam, and funny is that I like this bird for their prehistoric looking heads and for there nice pick colours.
