It was a glorious morning. A flock of Spoonbills was feeding in one of the wildlife management area ponds led by one bird along the edge of a sandbar. A gathering of Ibis, Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets were partially hidden in the grass behind them.
All of the birds worked their way towards the other side of the pond, some a few at a time, others in groups. Below, Spoonbills and Ibis lifted off together.
This was one of the first cool (60 degrees F) mornings we’ve had this fall. That along with a stiff breeze kept the mosquitoes away adding to the morning’s pleasure.

Wow, these are really great.
Thank you!
As Ted’s already said, these are really great! All that pink activity at the ponds! Great bird-lifestyle photos 🙂 Thank you very much.
Thanks, Liz! Glad you enjoyed the photos and the pink.
Amazing photos! Love the color of pink. Thought only flamingos were pink.
Thanks! The Roseate Spoonbills have a diet similar to Flamingos, which probably contributes to the pink.
Nice to know about the coloring. Thank you
