    These birds were on the way back to the sea to feed after moving inland away from the high tide. Court on camera while flying over our heads towards the shore line.

    Roseate Spoonbill

    One of the numerous Ft. Myers Roseate Spoonbills. They're really not one of the prettiest birds closeup and are quite common from the Everglades all the way up to Tampa.

    stilt

    Taken from quite a distance; he was very unsocialable - just would not let me any closer. Feeding in a shallow-water low area about 25 yards from the Mississippi River.
