Yellow-billed Spoonbill
It's amazing how curious some birds become when they're not quite sure of something - like a me lying under camo on the edge of the mud.

Nice job on the whites, Rob. The low angle makes this an up close and personal shot.

The pose/expression of the subject is wonderful. I'm not sure about the other birds presence ...the one just behind the end of the bill sort of takes away from this. Excellent exposure and really nice low angle...I hope you got some of a singular bird. Sharon

Nice to see another "new" species (at least to me). And what's the bird with the black face and legs on the right edge of the frame?

neat shot, Rob. love the pose from the main subject. nice job with the exposure and details. at first I was not crazy about all the other birds, but as I found my eye exploring the scene, I decided that they add some interest overall.

Nice job bringing the one Spoonbill out of all the others, Rob. I like the pose and eye contact.
