S/He does look quite healthy in spite of his handicap. Nice catch, Sylvia!

Great set Sylvia. The Spoonbills are one of the most colorful birds in this area. Great IQ with this body lens combination. Have a safe trip back.

Excelletnt set, Sylvia. I agree that he may have made a narrow escape from a gator. But who knows.

Beautiful birds Sylvia. Too bad about the Spoonbill, but I guess nature can be cruel!
Thanks for sharing.

Always a pleasure to share Bill and thank you very much for looking in and your kind comment. It doesn’t seem to impede him/her at all. It manages to run around in the lake!!

just wondering how the spoonbill eats when they normally wade in the water sweeping their spoon bill from side to side. Good set Sylvias!
It tends to keep to the shallow edge of the lake and runs around. I have never seen it go any further in. I haven’t seen it catch anything either! It does look healthy though. Thank you very much Vic for your comments, pleased you like them.

Are there alligators in the area? Maybe he was injured by one he did not notice.
Not in the area we are staying but wherever he/she came from that could have happened. Thank you very much for looking in and your comment.
