Roseate Spoonbill, Immature
Gilbert, Arizona
Nikon D500, 500mm f/5.6 PF, 1/1000, f/8, ISO1000

This wayward young Roseate Spoonbill spent nearly a year far from home here in Arizona, giving the local photographers a real treat.  This bird was unfazed by human presence, often walking within feet of people who were sitting or standing quietly.  "Rosie" first appeared on 24 Sept 2020, I last saw it 2 weeks ago.  Not sure if it's finally taken off for "home" or just on a short wander nearby somewhere.  Time will tell.

Great light and pose, a bit unexpected to see this species in AZ.

A wonderful image, showing those large beautiful feathers- the green water, and the reflection, are special, here.
