Arrived today in Ft Myers Beach for a few days to visit the many birding spots in the are. It has been a great trip so far. Last week I was in the St Augustine and spent some time in the Rookery in the Alligator Farm. This is a shot of a young Roseate Spoonbill stretching its wings. Earlier that morning his sibling met an untimely death by falling off the edge of the nest and into the Alligator Pond. He was quite weak since this one seemed to hog all the food. I wonder if birds can feel remorse knowing that indirectly he caused his siblling's death!
