This lighting worked especially well with the pink Roseate Spoonbills, who were settling in for the night in trees around the Cypress Boardwalk.
Throw in some little birds and some bigger ones, and overall it was a great evening.

I came across more of these colorful little woodpeckers than ever before, spotting them along the Black Point Wildlife Drive and the Scrub Ridge Trail at MINWR.
On a trip to the wildlife preserve, I came across some old favorites as well as three new-to-me birds: A female American Redstart, an Eastern Phoebe and a Least Flycatcher.
