Florida's Pink Birds

[IraRunyan]

I went to MINWR today specifically to find some Roseate Spoonbills to photograph. Unfortunately, I could only find one that was close enough to photograph, but he was kind enough to give me several poses.

Great shots Ira. It's been my experience that roseate's tend to shy away from people and it's hard to get an up close and personal shot. Once in a while you get lucky. Good work!

Don't you just love it when the tourists refer to them as flamingo's...:rofl
