Last minute Florida Spoonbill Tour for March 24th-25th / Are you in?

I am organizing a last minute Florida Spoonbill tour for March 24th-25th!! Do you want to join?

Roseate Spoonbill bathing – Tampa Bay, Florida
ISO 1600 | f/5.6 | 1/3200 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focusing
This photograph was created with the Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM lens coupled with a 1.4x extender and the Canon EOS 1DX mark II.

There are very few places where one might have the chance to photograph bathing Spoonbills! While not being a guaranty, there is a decent chance to see some bathing action during each tour.

Roseate Spoonbill banking above the blue water – Tampa Bay, Florida
ISO 500 | f/4 | 1/5000 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focusing
This photograph was created with the Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM lens (Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM review), the Canon EOS 7D mark II on tripod with a Jobu Design Gimbal Head.

Banking shots are among the hardest flight photography creations. Make it happen just a bit above the blue water and you have a winner! 🙂

When your tour leader can call out an imminent take off, you multiply your chances to capture the full take off motion. See above for a nice breakdown from a juvenile Spoonbill.
