The Roseate Spoonbill is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. In the United States a popular place to observe Roseate Spoonbills is "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Roseate Spoonbills must compete for food with Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Tricolored Herons, and American White Pelicans.

The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is considered one of the most active herons, and is often seen on the move. It stalks its prey visually in shallow water far more actively than other herons and egrets, frequently running energetically and using the shadow of its wings to reduce glare on the water once it is in position to spear a fish; the result is a fascinating dance. Due to its bold, rapacious yet graceful feeding behavior, author Pete Dunne nicknamed the Reddish Egret "the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Flats".[7] It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans, and insects. The bird's usual cry is a low, guttural croak.

Osprey near Lake Conway Orlando Florida. Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT

The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the sea hawk, fish eagle or fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings.

Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 DX Superwide sells for only around $450 USD. It is one of the few very sharp and very contrasty DX zoom and at that price, really is a real bargain. Sigma also makes an f/3.5 version which is not nearly as good. It does not do well on FX at any focal length.

Nikon 35 f/1.8G DX AFS Prime Lens is a very sharp and contrasty lens made for APS-C crop cameras, but will cover an FX sensor without much vignetting. This wonderful $199 gem is a no-brainer for any DX kit.

Nikon 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 EDIF DX AFS might be the sharpest DX lens Nikon ever had. It was discontinued and replaced by the 15-105 VR.
