Artist's Comments

In the early morning light a flock of beautiful spoonbills painted the water pink with their reflections. I only managed a couple images before the scene was gone, but I'm pleased with this one. It sure made battling the clouds of pre-dawn mosquitoes worthwhile.

I think you persistence was worth it :P Glad to see the mosquitoes didn't ward you off.
The little bastards :giggle:
They can be quite irritating... specially when they swarm-attack you :fear:

beautiful shot of the spoonbill amazing colors - we have them at High Island Texas where I photographed them last year in there breeding colors - beautiful birds - I hope they are still there this year since hurricane Ike destroyed a lot of the bird sanctuaries of the Texas coast :(

This is stunning. The colors are incredible & I love how the bird appears to be staring right at you.

This seems like it would have been one of those rare, precious moments in time. Beautifully done. :heart:
