The spoonbill preened and tucked in for the night at Short Beach. Last seen at 7:15pm. It was in a deciduous tree hanging out over the marsh, with a dozen snowy egrets. With the evening light slanting through its feathers, it was pretty darn magnificent. Thanks to the fellow birders who helped get me on it.
