[QUOTE="Zackiedawg, post: 1907660, member: 88126"] Actually, I've been seeing the spoonbills there for about 2 months now at Green Cay, almost always in the afternoons. They sometimes sit out on the far levees around the back, quite far from the boardwalk area, but occasionally they either perch in some of the stump trees near the walkways, or even come wading close to the shoreline where you can get up close. Saturday was excellent - two of the spoonies got right up close to the boardwalk, around the left side just before you enter the tree canopy...here's a few snaps from Saturday: [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/127717438/original[/url] [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/127717439/original[/url] [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/127717444/original[/url] A few weeks ago, one was hanging out in one of the trees: [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/127288936/original[/url] One from last month: [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/126957127/original[/url] here you can see a bunch of them sitting a little farther out in the lake along the back...takes a lot of zoom lens to get them that far away: [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/126623274/original[/url] I love when they get close though, so you can really get the details and see their colors...back in May, this guy was sitting just off to the right of the main building, only about 10 feet from the Boardwalk: [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/124364868/original[/url] [url]http://www.pbase.com/zackiedawg/image/124364864/original[/url] Note - all of those shots, from May through this weekend, were from afternoon...I can't be bothered to wake up early on weekends, so that's usually when I'm there! ;) [/QUOTE]
