It was the neatest encounter on a day full of bird activity. I'll post photos later. Here is the video I took, put together on Kizoa, that runs one minute 15 seconds. Photos follow of this unique creature, other birds and scenes from the special place that is the Bear Island WMA.
Roseate Spoonbills
It's clear where the name spoonbill comes from in this photo
My College of Charleston students and I had a good mini-field trip to nearby Bethel United Methodist Church last Monday night. I say "mini" because we only had to walk up Calhoun Street past the Addlestone Library to get to the historic 19th-century church.
