The brilliant pink stripe on the wing is the mating plumage for the Spoonbill.

Wow! Can you sneak up close to these beautiful birds, or do you have to use a blind?

They were on the other side of the river from us, no blind required. You just need to walk up quietly, set-up and shoot. Gary

Love seeing the spoonies and especially the ones with the wing 'drips'.
