Roseate Spoonbill and Friends

Paul Demkovich

I was driving down Immokalee Road, east of Naples, FL when I passed a group of wading birds in the ditch along the road. I stopped the car at a distance and took several photos, inching a bit closer every few minutes. The group included Wood Storks, Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, White Ibis and a Limpkin. This image shows the Roseate Spoonbill, a juvenile White Ibis and the Limpkin.
