Hi Allen
This is another one of my bucket list birds. All three Spoonbill are sharp, with good feather detail. Number 2 & 3 have more pop, because of the darker background. Nice. work.

Wow! Fantastic aerial shots of the spoonie Allen. These are some of my wife’s favorite birds. Their colors are amazing.

Great shots. I’m with Peter: a definite bucket list bird. The second one seems to pop the most against the background.

Well. You could go to Louisiana. But you can I also f find them in Costa Ricaind them in , which mi get be a lot more fun. Nice

Another lovely set of images from your trip, Allen. I certainly see why you like that area.

Very nice shots of and enviable subject matter (never seen one but I’d sure like to). I particularly like that second capture with its diffused, dark BG. I think it really works.
