Very excited to see these Spoonbills in South Carolina. These were seen at Donnelley Wildlife Management Area in the Ace Basin. The flock consisted of about 22-30 birds and it was exciting to see this mass of "pink" roosting and feeding. They are getting their breeding plumage (dark pink) and seem to be staying in the area, which is rare this late in the season.
More info...
Very common in parts of the southeast until the 1860s, spoonbills were virtually eliminated from the United States as a side-effect of the destruction of wader colonies by plume hunters. Began to re-colonize Texas and Florida early in 20th century. Still uncommon and local, vulnerable to degradation of feeding and nesting habitats.
Gorgeous at a distance and bizarre up close is the Roseate Spoonbill. Locally common in coastal Florida, Texas, and southwest Louisiana, they are usually in small flocks, often associating with other waders. Spoonbills feed in shallow waters, walking forward slowly while they swing their heads from side to side, sifting the muck with their wide flat bills.
Breeds mainly during winter in Florida, during spring in Texas.
Nests in colonies. At beginning of breeding season, entire flock may suddenly fly up, for no apparent reason, and circle the area. In courtship, male and female first interact aggressively, later perch close together, present sticks to each other, cross and clasp bills. Nest site is in mangroves, tree, shrub, usually 5-15' above ground or water, sometimes on ground. Nest (built mostly by female, with material brought by male) a bulky platform of sticks, with deep hollow in center lined with twigs, leaves.
Diet
Small fish, aquatic invertebrates. Diet is mostly small fish such as minnows and killifish, also shrimp, crayfish, crabs, aquatic insects (especially beetles), mollusks, slugs. Eats some plant material, including roots and stems of sedges.

You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink, like a deco umbrella
It's kink, but you don't ever tell her
Pink, it was love at first sight
Pink, when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be alright
No matter what we do tonight

"My Name is 'Pink Lily'
And not 'Milli Vanilli'
Got a Sheen of Metal
On my pink Petal
I’m the only one in this Community
With Petals full of Jewellery
Each Drop is sparkling like a precious Stone
And they are all for me, alone ….."
