photoartflightRoseate Spoonbill Flyby
Roseate Spoonbills are one of my favorite Florida birds to photograph! Plus they are a large colorful bird that fills the frame & stands out in photos. In this image I really liked the outstretched wings showing the feather detail and the size of the wingspan. Their wingspan on average is 47 to 52 inches. Image taken at J.N. Ding Darling NWR in Florida a few years ago with a 300mm lens, 1.4X teleconverter on a Canon 7D.

Nice capture Reed.

Fine detail and beautiful against the green background!
Thanks Belinda! Plus they are a big bird so easier to fill the frame😊
What a gorgeous shot, Reed, that really showcases that amazing pink color. Wow!
Thanks so much Mike! They do stand out against the green foliage! Plus they are very large compared to other Florida birds!
Superb feather detail – a gorgeous bird!

Those spread wings and all the feather detail is great, Reed. Very nice!
Thanks so much Steve! They are fun photo subjects!
Wonderful capture, Reed. They are incredible birds. I remember going to Ding Darling way back in the 80’s as a fledgling photographer. I was amazed. 🙂
Thanks so much Jane! Because of COVID we did not get to Florida this year, but have a lot of images from previous visits! Just going through the archives finding images to post. Not to much to photograph at the local parks at the moment.😊
Understandable! Makes finding creative moments a bit more challenging. 🙂
