Roseate Spoonbill Preening 1

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Merritt Island, Florida
January 2nd, 2024
Now that the bath is done and we have stood in the sun and looked pretty for a short while, it is time to do some detailing. This is a different angle of a Spoonbill doing some flight feather cleaning by dipping its beak in the water and then using it to individually clean each feather. I could watch these birds all day.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
