As summer starts to wind down, it’s time to say “see you later” to one of the Lowcountry’s seasonal visitors — the roseate spoonbill. The pink, long-legged birds are active here during the summer and can be spotted through the end of September, before they head south.So book a Coastal Expeditions <[link removed]> tour, pack your camera and binoculars, and drift down the Kiawah River on a safari-style boat cruise for a front row seat to the roseate spoonbills and other Lowcountry wildlife along the river’s edge.
