Sandy, churning ocean viewed from the beach

Ominous storm clouds viewed from a nearly empty beach

Windy night and choppy surf but we were lucky the eye went right over us and we slept through it

In flight. Unique pink wading bird with a bill resembling long flat spoons

Three Roseate Spoonbills (pink wading birds with bills resembling spoons) flying back over the saltmarsh.

Gotta love being on vacation, where the most gorgeous #birds fly past on their way to parts unknown. In this case, these Roseate Spoonbills just finished their mid-afternoon siesta and were headed back out to the saltmarsh in search of an early dinner. #BirdingSC #Nature #Phtotography #HBSP
