Hunkering in the Cold

It's been a cold couple of days here at Lake Corpus Christi State Park. We've had two nights in the low thirties and yesterday didn't even hit 40 degrees. I realize that's not cold by Michigan standards but we didn't drive this far for Michigan temperatures.
We met a nice couple from Steamboat Springs, Colorado and have been spending time visiting with them. They have quite a story after having been touring for the past few winters in a trawler that they keep at Lake Okeechobee in Florida. They travel to the coast then to the Bahamas or Key West for their winters. This year they are traveling in a vintage motor home they bought last year. They told us about doing a circle tour on their boat from New York, through Lake Champlain, to the St Lawrence Seaway to the Great Lakes, then down through the Ohio River and south to Mobile Bay back into the Gulf of Mexico. Quite an adventure!
Tomorrow we move south east to Brazo's Bend near Houston.

Why would they call this a spoonbill?
