So nice to see water back where it belongs out there.




whole flock of spoonbills were stunting on each other... I can honestly say, i've never seen a bird do a barrel roll before.
sorry for the noise, i was doing a lot of experimenting with settings ;D

Really like the first one Paul...nice sharp focus with great details and color...was discussing this park with someone that I met over the weekend from the Katy area...was wondering if it had some water now...are there many ducks at the park?...always great to meet a fellow member of the forum in the field...

I really like the positioning of the spoon in the second shot. That's a pretty unique pose/wing spread.
