20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Spoonbill

A Florida Spoonbill catches the eye of the photographer. This same spoonbill comes to the same pond almost every day. The bird is shy and will fly away if anyone gets too close. But a late evening sunset is the perfect time to show off your vibrant feathers, even if there is an audience.
