I took this photograph on my first ever visit to Little Estero Lagoon last weekend. It was not as active with birds as I had hoped, but was still busier than Ding Darling. Not a single Roseate Spoonbill was seen over the weekend. :-(

Composition shows off those breeding colors perfectly. Did you know about the water conditions at Ding Darling? Here's two articles that will explain what's happening to the refuge

Jud,

Beautiful shot. I like the pose with the head turn and the ripples in the water.
