This is a beautiful spoonbill. I love photographing birds, I know the basic ones, but would love to learn more. I think they are such amazing and beautiful creatures! One day I'll be photographing them in the wild, but until then I can practice and share their beauty from zoos. I know zoos don't have a great reputation, but over the past 20+ years they have really changed and are focusing on keeping threatened and endangered animals alive with strong DNA so that, hopefully, one day their children can be released into the wild, where they belong. @theportlandzoo #52framesphotographers #52frames #nikonframer #52frames_ruleofthirds #natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic #natgeo100contest #natgeowild #natgeo #natgeotravel #instatravel #bird #spoonbill #white #disabledphotographer #fibromyalgia #chronicillness #wildlifephotography #wildlife #animalphotography #photooftheday #pnwphotographer (at Portland Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaTk0SvNI7/?utm_medium=tumblr
