CLOSEUPS OF ROSEATE SPOONBILLS, WAKODAHATCHEE WETLANDS, DELRAY BEACH, FL
One of the great things about Wakodahatchee Wetlands is that you can get very close to the birds without them being scared off. This includes nesting birds. Its an amazing place. These Roseate Spoonbills were only few yards away. In the third photo the birds to the right of the spoonbill are Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks.
