I stopped by Lowry Park zoo for a quick visit to check on the spoonbill nest. What a nice surprise to find 3 babies on the nest. They were so cute! I spent about an hour taking pictures. If I had my camera pointed at the nest, people would stop and notice the nest above the alligator pond. If I wasn't taking pictures, most walked by without even noticing the nest. People where noticing the big alligators laying below. They were mesmerized by how big the alligators were. The babies were my first spoonbill babies. They were light pink and fuzzy. I hope they don't outgrow that nest too fast. I'm going to try and stop by each weekend to keep track of their progress.
oh congrats! you got them!!! they're so darn cute! i hope they stay in the nest and don't land in the alligator pit below!

ReplyDeleteWow Dina. Amazing pictures. I love the words too lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of a lovely bird.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely sensational captures Dina! WOW!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and the coloring on the birds is so beautiful. Spoonbills around where I live in SE Queensland, Australia are just plain white with black bills - not nearly so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteDina you've done it again! These pictures are awesome. It's hard to imagine a bird being more beautiful. What a rare and wondrous sight. I do hope you'll be back to the nest and treat us to some more. Be careful around those gators they might be using those spoonbills as bait!
ReplyDeleteYour photos is amazing and it is really a fascinating bird! Very well done.!!
ReplyDeleteWow, the baby spoonbills are so cute, I just love the baby birds. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love them! (I've been anxiously awaiting this, only to discover I've fallen behind on my commenting due an appointment with a doctor. Duh.)
ReplyDeleteWell, here they are, and here I am, and they're too too precious. Your captions are wonderful, Dina.
