Roseate Spoonbill Climbing High Over Everglades National Park

Details best viewed in Original Size.

I photographed this Roseate Spoonbill over Mrazek Pond in Everglades National Park. The spoonbills were apparently roosting behind some trees which were out of sight and inaccessible to us, but we could hear them. Every once in a while, one or two would appear from behind the trees and corkscrew over the pond climbing higher and higher. After circling over the pond for the third time, they would be extremely high and off they would go toward their destination. While they were climbing, pictures could be had during their first circuit around the pond, after that they would, for all practical purposes, be out of reach. Then we would have to wait until the next spoonbill(s) would repeat the procedure or some would return.
