Until Sunday, out of all the trips I've made out to the Baytown Nature Center to take photographs, I had never come across any Spoonbills. My luck changed this past Sunday, at about mid-morning, after I decided to drive out there and see if I could spot any photo ops. Not far into the trip I spotted the small flock of Spoonbills hanging out in a tidal pond not too far inside the entrance to the park. I was certainly pleased to have the opportunity to photograph these beautiful birds, especially on a morning shoot I started to pass up due to the time of day!

Nice shot Larry!
The subtle colors contribute to the peaceful mood of the photo!
Well done!

Birdman!
I have never seen this many spoonbills together--of course, I really do not go hunting for them!
The subtle colors seem to fit the subjects very well.
Nice job.
Very nice. The pink and green colors work well together.
I like the reflections on the water and the serene mood.
What lens did you use? And how far away were you?

Thanks Barry, Larry, and Charlie. Charlie - I was using a 50-200 w/ 1.4 tele converter from about 40 feet away. Most of that distance was water or I think I could have gotten closer - they didn't seem to skittish.
