Pretty in Pink

I took this picture of this spoonbill in the zoo in Baton Rouge.
They have a large exhibit of water birds including these,
egrets, scarlet ibis,and night herons.  When I was there,
many of the birds had built nests, and were sitting on eggs. 
It would be fun to go at the time of the year when they all were
hatched! 

I have several competitions to enter this spring, and this is the time of
year I usually start on a couple of show pieces.  I am doing this
in colored pencil, and perhaps it will be entered in the CPSA show.
The show is in Florida this summer.
