Had to make the trip to Orlando Wetlands Park this morning to see the young Roseate Spoonbills. There are also some baby Great Egrets near the boardwalk.
One of my favorite sunrise spots.
They are around 2.5 weeks old. Baby spoonbills are often nicknamed tspoons. I guess maybe they are Table Spoons now.
Baby begging to be fed. Sorry for the shakiness. It’s on a boardwalk so every time someone takes a step there is a little wobble.

Fogbow-A fog bow is a rare meteorological phenomenon appearing as a pale, white, or faintly colored arc in mist or fog, caused by sunlight interacting with extremely small water droplets. Unlike regular rainbows, the tiny drops diffract light, washing out the colors.

Marvelous photos from start to finish. I liked the meteorologic addition of the fog bow. That is new one for me.
