I got these Thursday after a doctor's appointment. Not much time, just one pass along the water and I had to head back to catch the bus.

The Roseate Spoonbills with white feathered heads are the young birds, breeding age birds develope the bronze helmet look.

Beautiful pictures as usual. One of these was spotted and photographed by a local birder here (Glendale, Arizona) in what is a rare appearance in these parts.

He does that all the time. He lives somewhere where he can do that.

He's also very clueful on cameras and such, should you ever have a question.

Wasn't long ago, I believe he had eye surgery and said he could see better.

A week before he had posted photos that would do proud in Natl Geo. He takes better pictures before eye surgery than I can see in normal life.

All freepers have their place. Swampy needs to be behind a camera. He's damn good at that.
