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.”
