Still more photos from our visit to the South Padre Island Birding & Nature Center. We were pretty psyched to see these beauties! At first there were just four.
Then in the distance there came a much larger group following this one.
Even though it has been almost 3 months, it is still pretty exciting to think of all the wonderful birds we saw in this very small birding center. Can hardly wait for the next adventure! Till then I invite you to join all the great birders over at Stewart’s.
Thanks to host Stewart M.

one of my favourite birds when I am travelling. But I still have to get good shots of them. They have a habit of being too far away. Love your shots. 🙂

So pretty, spoonbills I’ve seen are very boring in colour in comparison. Thanks for sharing.

I believe I read somewhere that the intensity of their coloring is related to their diet. We saw a flock in the wild in Southwest Florida that has captured my imagination ever since!

I know with flamingo the diet of shrimp has an influence on color.
