Consider going to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine.
There's a pond in the park filled with alligators.
In the trees above the pond there are dozens if not hundreds of nests filled with an incredible amount of shore birds.

I found out at the farm these birds build their nests over alligator ponds and streams to protect their young from ground predators.

Very nice!

Spoonbills have some great color...

Hey look. Spoonies. Very nice

I have been told by a Florida oldtimer that this has been the best Spoonie season in 20 years. I have only been here ten years, and it is the best Spoonie season, for me, by far. They seem to have been every where I turn, all winter season.

Craig,
nice grabs of the spoonies but the really neat one is the egret with lunch...

Number five - I like the way you captured the head and bill together in focus.

What was the aperture for that one?

F/7.1 and I was only about fifteen feet away. Notice how the body falls out of focus.

Very nice work as usual. I really like #5 as it is not the typical spoonie shot.

I got to see some on the Waccasassa in 2013. CPA was about 50 yards shooting from the Nauset with the Bigma.

Starts at ~022~ ...
