Never saw one of these, it was back lit by a setting sun, so I could be wrong. Gorgeous bird, not too big, like a small snowy?
Never seen a pink Egret but, I have seen pink Ibis.

Might have been a roseate spoonbill. They have been around the last couple weeks.

Saw one in the harbor a few weeks ago. Never seen one before. I didn’t even know they existed. It did have a fairly flat bill.

After being released, a lot of fish die, but a lot of them live also.
I saw a flamingo last weekend at Limehouse.

Spoon bills have been in the marsh at the house for several weeks now.

I’ve seen a few from time to time in a couple of duck impoundment areas off the Asheepoo and Edisto. Never off the Combahee though. First one I saw was about 5 years ago. Can’t remember who but someone on this site I.D. it for me. They really stand out.
Exactly
