Roseate Spoonbill
Gilbert, AZ
Nikon D500, 500mm f/5.6 pf, 1/1600, f/6.3, ISO1000

Not a bird we expect to have here in the middle of the desert!  This immature Roseate Spoonbill arrived last fall at the same time as a few other young wanderers.  All the others left after a few days, but "Rosie" has stayed behind, much to the delight of the local photographers.

Good to see you again, Cindy!  I hope all is well with you.  Beautiful light in this one, and the background colour sets her off so well.  Spoonbills are appearing over here in the UK lately, but not the Roseate ones yet!

A dramatic looking frame, Cindy!
Love the use of back lighting in this one too ...
