Observation details

A large, very long-legged pale pink bird was detected in a small group of Brown Pelicans on a small sand bar in lower Winyah Bay. We studied the bird with binoculars for about 30 minutes and took several photos and short videos with our phones. It had a pale peach-pink back and breast and a very long neck more deeply colored and terminated by a distinctive bill with white, pink and a black tip. The tide was rising and some of the pelicans left during the time we watched. The flamingo had a long-legged advantage over the other birds in the area and stood tall as others floated or flew off. We revisited the area on our return trip from the mouth of Winyah Bay and relocated the flamingo at 1:53 pm (separate report to be filed for observations made at that time.)
