Spoonbills Magnets

A little flock of spoonbills waddling in the waters of RIA FORMOSA, Portugal.

It was interesting to watch this flock of Roseate Spoonbills in the trees.

Roseate Spoonbills Preening and Resting ©Debra Martz It was just that time of day when they are all napping with their heads tucked onto their backs or starting to gently preen their beautiful plumage. And they do this while balancing on one leg. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6882.NEF

This is my original artwork of two roseate spoonbills flying along the Atlantic Ocean coast of central Florida.

Roseate Spoonbills Resting Time ©Debra Martz As luck would have it I would finally see some Roseate Spoonbills at a decent distance but they all had there heads tucked in for a nap. Perhaps because they rest on only one leg, this one wobbled a bit so I at least got a quick sight of its namesake, the spoonbill, before it tucked back into position. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February. Light painterly touches add to the reeds and water only to remove/smooth some distractions. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6859-Edit.tif

Brought back from the brink of extinction, there are over a million American Alligators in the wild today. Roseate Spoonbills, fish and snakes for fun. Cute alligators on a navy background.

Valentine Kissing Spoonbill Bird Couple

A very beautiful white bird.

Spotted a pair of Spoonbills building their nest on top of a Melaleuca tree, but couldn't get a clear shot. Had to lean out over the pond, and hang on with one hand to get this. Clearly shows why they're called Spoonbills!

I captured this image just as this Royal Spoonbill landed on the stump.
