Roseate Spoonbill Bathing

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Merritt Island, Florida
January 1st, 2024
I watched this Spoonbill for a little while, bathing, preening and just doing some regular health care maintenance, Roseate style. When they bath, they stand in shallow water and basically just flap their wings quickly, slapping them repeatedly into the water. It is a sight to see and hear as it is quick the spectacle.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
