These Roseate Spoonbill chicks were about to get fed, and they were ready!

The way the adult facing away from us kept poking down below her mate I wondered if there was a fourth chick out of my view.

  1. Stunning photographs that tell a beautiful story. The roseate spoonbill is a favorite of mine.

    1. Thank you, so glad you liked these little fellows. It was a real treat to get to see them at this size, amazing how their bills are so tiny but in that shape.

    1. I was fortunate to be passing by when the chicks were getting fed and they started moving around. Ten minutes earlier and I might not even have noticed them.
