An adult and young spoonbill resting during migration in a small desert lake in the UAE. The young one has the black wingtips and the orange spoonbill. This pair (out of 8) seemed inseperable and had an obvious bond between them. Featured in “All that is Nature” Oct 31 – 2008

Captured this roseate spoonbill in Ft.Myers, Florida. A century ago the roseate spoonbill had almost disappeared from the United States, as hunters killed many kinds of wading birds to procure their feathers for the millinery trade. The shooting disrupted and ultimately destroyed the spoonbill colonies. A successful preservation campaign launched by the early Audubon societies stopped much of the killing and restored healthy populations of some species. But the spoonbill continued to decline. They have since to try to balance Mother nature with human’s destructions to Florida. / canon 40D /

The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the Ibis family. It is mainly seen in South America, the Caribbean and the Gulf Coast of the US. The older the bird, the deeper the pink plumage is in color. Unlike herons, Spoonbills fly with their neck outstretched. /

One of my favorite birds that I’ve been fortunate to see in the wild.

This took me forever to complete. It started out with the spoonbill flying past an island packed full of egrets, herons, and spoonbills all nesting in the background. I used Photoshop several times to get the motion blur on everything but kept a layer without the motion blur. After I got the motion blur effect I wanted I worked on bringing back the spoonbill. The selection process (using masking and selection tools) took a long time. I wanted to make sure I got every detail on the edge. To finish it up I gave the spoonbill a boost in saturation and used an unsharp mask on the spoonbill layer. Of course I still feel like it is unfinished but I always feel that way. / Thanks for everyone’s kind comments of this photo. Kirk

This t-shirt design has been taken from an original painting by award-winning Australian artist Colin Williams. The Royal Spoonbill is a truly elegant wading bird fairly commonly found around the coast of Australia. I commonly see flocks of up to 40 birds feeding in the Crookhaven River just near my home.

Taken at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples, Florida. Since we have drought conditions, most of the birds were located in one area where there was a small pond of water. Camera: Nikon Coolpix P80

It’s just mind-boggling that pink is a nearby ‘relative’ of red if you think about it…wow…such a contrast difference ;-) That pink birdie is a Spoonbill..

This is a Roseate Spoonbill at Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida. / They mate for life and are very sociable, living in small colonies. All spoonbills have a special feeding style known as “head-swinging.” The birds plunge their bill nearly vertically under water and swing it side to side in wide arcs. This is how they catch all sorts of good stuff from the water. Taken in Tampa, Florida with Nikon d40 w/55-200mm lens.

The roseate spoonbills are back after a winter hiatus. I caught several in flight over the rookery and decided to do a different kind of collage, this one an overlay of five different images. It’s something new for me, an experiment, a flight of imagination if you will. Hope you enjoy it. I took these photos in Iberia Parish, Louisiana.

This is a roseate spoonbill in a Louisiana rice field. The roseates are known to have nests in a rookery and then fly upwards of 20 miles or more away to find shallow water where they can forage for food.
