Turn Around

Went to a local park after work this afternoon. I needed a photo to enter in our monthly photo club contest for the "Nature" catagory. I was shocked when I saw a Spoonbill at our duckpond. As soon as I got in shooting range, off it would fly to the other side. Of course I had to follow, and it knew to stay just far enough away to avoid letting me photograph it. Finally, it let it's guard down and I got close enough to fire off a few shots, then it flew away. At least I have proof I saw a spoonbill to show my wife. (These are her favorite birds)!
