FINDING AND PHOTOGRAPHING

the fabulous roseate spoonbill is truly a joy. The deep and vivid colors of this adult’s amazing pink feathers are perfectly reflected on the water. There is a special moment when a roseate spoonbill is preening where, with the right angle, you can appreciate how its wings and body form a heart shape. I took this photo at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville, Florida.
