“Hey, this is my spot.” Said one spoony to the other.
Snowy egret walking by.
There must be some good bugs in that water.
This one stopped to scratch.
Nice spoony pose. This one looks like a juvenile due to the lack of color detail in his face.
I hadn’t seen any spoonbills in a while. On a recent trip to Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, we found a small marsh with a few of them feeding. There were also a lot of egrets and storks feeding but the spoonbills were the most fun. Most of them were really bright pink so they must be in their breeding feathers. There were a few with no facial color so I’m thinking those are juveniles maybe born last summer. We watched them feed and fight over the best spots for a while before heading on.

Wow!……..These are wonderful birds to see… lovely images Dina.
Beautiful colours!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Aren’t Spoonbills wonderful? I love their colors. Your shots are all wonderful. Spoons and egret!
They are beautiful birds!
Love the reflections of the spoonbills in the water. Such beautiful colors, great photographs.
They look like my peonies suddenly became airborne and landed in your Florida marsh.
I agree with your juvenile id, they still have feathered heads.
Beautiful photos, Dina, especially the reflections.

Super series of images Dina.
Beautiful! Love the egret and spoonbill together!
Awesome! Perfect post for WBW!
Very good post!!!
Beautiful colors in those Spoonbills. We have a similar species out here (in Australia) but they are plain white – not nearly so beautiful.
Dina, Amazing shots of the Spoonbills!!!Have a great Wednesday!

What magical shots! So lovely.
What beautiful, interesting birds. We’ve only seen them at the zoo, but know we’d have to travel a ways to get them in the wild, so I appreciate your photos. 🙂
I just had a nice look around at you latest posts. Wow! Pelicans, spoonbills, egrets…
What a pleasure to visit and see these amazing sights!
That spoonbill in the second photo has a big fat band on its leg, it blends in perfectly! I wonder if that was intentional or not.
