Roseate Spoonbill Chick with Mom

Alligator Farm - St. Augustine, Florida
April 8th, 2022
After photographing other birds at Alligator Farm this particular morning, I headed over to the Roseate Spoonbills area to see if I could get some captures. This Spoonbill mom and her nest were quite high and when I stretched as high as I could reach, I could just make out the nest. After waiting a bit, the young chick, a few days old, reached up above the nest line and reached for its mom. I was very happy to get this capture.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
