Great shots, especially the Spoonbill (I surmise) I used to live on the perimeter of the Caroni swamp in Trinidad and at dusk the Ibis return from Venezuala in a huge mass and its one of the seven wonderous sights I have ever seen.
They float beets in the water for the birds to eat !which supposedly helps with their intense coloration.
Thanks, great shots.

Great photos of the birds! I assume you use a tripod. How do you manually focus as they move so fast & the lens must be so big?
