    “One of my favorites is the Roseate Spoonbill because they are rare to spot in the wild (I’ve only seen one on Cumberland Island) and one time I was studying feather chart meanings and a pink feather meant, “love in the form of a child was coming my way”. I remember thinking, “who finds a pink feather in the wild?!” feeling very skeptical and sad because I had been struggling with infertility and a miscarriage. After a hurricane I found a Roseate Spoonbill pink feather on the beach tangled in some reeds and shortly after found out I was pregnant and with a girl! Probably one of the most magical experiences of my life.”
