I had heard there were Spoonbills in MD, but nothing about birds on the Eastern Shore. I&#8217;ve seen a few of these lovely birds, but it was still s startling find. I did manage to see it again a couple of days later along with a Glossy Ibis and a White Ibis.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few image&#8217;s.
