Krista – Interesting that there they’re still lingering in the region. They are amazing birds, aren’t they? Glad you got to watch them. Thanks so much for reading!

Just got back from a trip to Myrtle Beach this weekend (10/17/09) and saw 6 of the spoonbills at Huntington State Park. They were beautiful!!! It was amazing to watch them feeding. Watched them for about an hour.

Hi Beverly – Thanks for your comments! Until this season, it had been a long time since I had seen a spoonbill, so it was great to have so many of them around. I suspect you probably did see some, as there were good numbers around different areas of South Carolina this summer. I appreciate you reading and taking the time to comment!

I belive we saw a few of these birds in the Marsh at the Huntington State Park (South of Murrell’s Inlet, SC) over the Labor Day weekend.

Can you send one or more north to New York State…specifically Montezuma? It’s been a long time since those Wood Storks showed up, so it would be nice to have another southern visitor. Oh, and that Purple Gallinule was great as well. Too bad you missed that one…

Very cool having these guys around this year! Hope you’re keeping cool down there in the Low Country.
