A small flock of Roseate Spoonbills was flying low over the marsh headed for a drained area just in front of me.
I was hoping they would land but they kept going.
And going, passing by the spot where some shore birds had gathered and I had a good view. They landed just to my right, behind some reeds.

These are beautiful birds with their pink coat. The 2 last photos are perfectly captured.
Thank you, Greta! The color is something else.
The pink against the sky and marsh grass is lovely. You caught the birds in perfect formation.
I was happy to capture them as they gracefully dropped down with no reeds in front of me. Thank you!
You must be pleased that you caught them in flight.
I am, Steve! They were being quite orderly about it, too.
