Wow! What a catch!! I have seen them all before but can't remember their names. Beautiful photo!
Brad, great great photo.
Happy SWF.
I got invited on a trip to Yellowstone in August...any suggestions on what the normal visitor doesn't get to see??
Cool shot - and I don't have one like that. Was at Viera yesterday, though. :)

What a great shot! Beautiful birds even if I can't tell what all of them are! Thanks for sharing and Happy SWF! Have a great weekend!
Nice shot showing many different species!
Oh neat! What an interesting flock!
It looks like maybe some pelicans or cranes of some kind? What are those pink birds? The only pink bird I know about is a flamingo.
Great shot; One can see the details when enlarged. Yap, what are those pink birds?
I'm not really a birder, but what a WONDERFUL shot!!! Happy SWF. :)
That's a beautiful shot. I'd be guessing if I named the birds but by any other name they are still beauties in flight.
No, I can't name them. But I'm amazed that that many are flying together. ;-)
I have very little knowledge about birds. especially foreign ones. Only pink birds I know is Flamingoes and some looked like storks of some sort. Possibly there were geese too.
It is an amazing action shot. How you managed this is beyond my comprehension. Absolutely marvellous.
No, I can't, but is one a flamingo??? :D Great capture!
NOPE is the simple answer but then I am a Brit what would I know. Brad great shot cheers for sharing XXX Don

Nice one Brad, well caught sir.
I you don't mind, how many kinds are there...I enlarged it and still can't tell. What an awesome capture!
Great shot and great idea for SWF and no way can I name them!
Wonderful shot, Brad! Off the bat I see White Ibises, Snowy Egrets and Roseate Spoonbills (the pink ones). The bigger egret in the top right corner looks like it might be a Great Egret, but I'm not sure about that one. Also not sure about the four darker birds...
Have a great weekend!
I must say, i found 3 of a kind of the birds in that photo.. lovely...
Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful shot!
I knew egrets and I knew the pink wasn't a flamingo but couldn't recall until I saw Kyle's comment -he got it.
You sure had a great time in Merritt Island!
My Sky Watch is on my photoblog: Carletta’s Captures.
What a fabulous capture! How neat that they were all flying together!
Great Skywatch!!
Excellent to catch more than two types in on image.
Jeez, looks like a conference!
What a catch! My birds always looks - well - on the move, and dizzy...This is crystal clear! Love it!
And thanks for visiting my blog! And yes; take a trip to Norways west coast, there are both wonderful birds, and dramatic landscape!
Spoonbills
White Ibis
Great Egret
Snowy Egret
but I cannot see the smaller dark birds good enough to tell, even after clicking to enlarge. This is great to get them all together in one photo. Nice SWF.

Wow, what a wonderful photo and catch. I managed to id flamingo, maybe Canada Goose(front of the pack) and some kind of crane....so I guess I got one! Thank you for sharing and stopping by.

Hmm, let's see - egrets, spoonbills, ibis..oh and a brown whatchmacallit.
I'm not nearly fluent enough in bird to pick out the different species, but it's a fantastic photo!
In addition to what Leedra enumerated, it looks like there might be a Great Blue Heron, and is that a Northern Harrier on the far left. Was he the culprit is getting all these birds in the air?
Beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.
Great photo of beautiful birds in flight!
Heck no Brad! But it's a wonderful picture and capture!
I saw some egrets ... Nice shot. Enlarge my SW and tell me what you think ...
Brad: What a wonderful capture, such neat detail. I see ibis, egrets, spoonbills, ducks and hawks/vulture all one wing. There may be more than 5 kinds.
You have a wonderful selection of things on your blog Bradley.
I think I can see Wood Stork in there! Also white egret/heron, and even a spoonbill?
Brad, this is a great photo and right in time. A bit later you wouldn't have had such a shot!
This is just gorgeous! wow! I love this shot. Are they seagulls? some are ducks perhaps or geese? gee whatever, they are just awesome!
Amazing shot, Margaret
wow! fantastic photo
