Roseate Spoonbill FlyBys

One of my favorite birds to photograph in Florida are Roseate Spoonbills. They are fun to photograph and watch them in flight. They are also a very large bird to help fill the frame and are very colorful. The images here are a series of 2 different Spoonbills that flew by me as I was photographing at this spot. The Featured Image was taken with a Canon 7D with a 400mm DO lens. As this Spoonbill was flying by another Spoonbill flew by going the other way so it was like a 2 in 1 series of images.

Roseate 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.

I am going through backup Hard Drives cleaning up and removing unneeded files. Sometimes you find interesting images you have not used before or you want to try different ways to adjust the file and bring out more details on already worked on files. The more you adjust files you find different ways or techniques to improve the image.  This image was taken years ago at Ding Darling NWR with a Canon 7D with a 400mm f/4 DO lens with a 1.4X Teleconverter ( ~ 896mm effective Full Frame FOV)
