Charleston's beautiful and historic Magnolia Cemetery continues, for me, to be a great place to visit, especially when it’s one of those “It’s so pretty out, let’s do something” Sunday afternoons. And especially when beach season is over.
Such was the case on Sunday, Nov. 2. Upon entering the cemetery, the front lagoon quickly came into view and so did lots of birds in the trees by the pond.
Not just any birds either. This is the colorful paddle-billed Roseate Spoonbill. Such a unique bird!
A second Roseate Spoonbill was on site, joined on a live oak tree by a trio of White Ibis.
