Baby Rosette Spoonbill crying for mom

A bizarre wading bird of the southern coasts, the Roseate Spoonbill uses its odd bill to strain small food items out of the water. Its bright pink coloring leads many Florida tourists to think they have seen a flamingo. This young spoonbill was running and crying for his mother for some food. I actually had the mother in this shot but her head was cut off. I had to move fast to get any shot at all. So decided to remove her from the scene and darken the background Nikon D7000; 1/1250s; f/5.0; ISO 1600
