Thank you to the buyer from Delaware for your purchase in my Redbubble online store! Roseate Spoonbills Resting Time by Debra Martz | Redbubble www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1425...

#Sold #ThankYou #BuyIntoArt #spoonbills
As luck would have it, I would finally see some Roseate Spoonbills at a decent distance, but they all had their heads tucked in for a nap. Perhaps because they rest on only one leg, this one wobbled a bit, so I at least got a quick sight of its namesake, the spoonbill, before it tucked back into position. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center, the last day of February. Light painterly touches add to the reeds and water, only to remove/smooth some distractions. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved
