Flamingo Seems Not Very Interested in a Spoonbill Visit.

[BobbyV]

There have been a few more Flamingo sightings in parts of Florida this year than in the past. This one on the east coast yesterday didn't seem interested in a Spoonbill that seemed to want to strike up a conversation. Photo taken from my kayak, nine minutes after hazy sunrise, more than a hundred feet away from the birds. (The keeper rate really drops in these conditions. )

Beautiful image! You're lucky to have captured two of Florida's most beautiful birds side by side. I haven't seen that before. It's hard to say which is most beautiful.

Cool and fun picture. Nice job!

This is so great. I love the soft, pastel colors, the matching pink on different species, and the fact they are both facing the same direction. You have a real winner here.

Thanks. Conditions made it a challenge, but it was cool to see.

This image is excellent. And hilarious. Looks like the spoony is having a tirade ant the flamingo just isn't having it.

Great image! Maybe the flamingo is unhappy about being outpinked.
