Beautiful light and stunning colors. Never seen such a yellow-orange head!

Very nice spoonbill.
The soft light helped here in getting a good exposure. Nice wing position also.

Wow, the deep green background really compliments the colors of the spoonie. Like the wing position. Is this full breeding plumage?

Yes it was taken at the height of breeding season in April

Great that you caught him in a green BG. Looks awesome. Good look at the head and the techs look right on.
Wish the head hadnt intersected the wing but the wing shows the head off well. Nice work.
