Description

This is a repost of one of my early posting that I was not happy with and dedicating this version, to my good friend Mario (Mariogiannecchini). This is a nesting pair of spoonbills. They are about 32 inches (81cm) long with a wingspan of 50 inches (127cm). This is most likely a young pair for they start turning pink as they age. There is a leg band on the standing spoonbill but I found them in the open wetlands. Taken with my old Minolta. Do zoom to check out the details. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

Fabulous foto of our fine feathered friends, Dana. They seem to have the same tendency as ducks and geese in turning their heads 180-degrees to insert their blls into their backsides.

Grazie 1000 , caro Dana , per questa bella immagine a me dedicata . Una volta ho trovato una coppia di spatole in volo, semplicemente meravigliose . Immagine molto bella e interessante . Ti avevo inviato alcune mie foto , ma pare che non siano arrivate a te, la posta fa capricci ! Through 1000, Dana my dear, for this beautiful picture dedicated to me. I once found a pair of spoonbills in flight, simply wonderful. Image very beautiful and interesting. I sent you some pictures, but apparently not come to you, the mail does whims!
