Yeah, that’s really quite far outside their range. Sometimes juvenile wading birds will do post breeding exploration which is adaptive behavior for prospecting new habitats for future breeding but >500 miles is really far. Woodstorks are slowly moving northward from Florida, into GA, SC and now south East NC and usually the juveniles start showing up late summer and then 3 or so years later a few will start breeding and then 10 years later there will be a full on colony. Anyway the other weird thing about spoonbills in the triad is that they are pretty much tied to coastal waters since their diet is fairly exclusively shrimp. It Maybe that this guy was prospecting in costal GA and SC then fled inland when it sensed the tropical storm coming but got lost and ended up in the triad.
 
We rented a house on the beach, shoutout to my Mom for requiring beachfront and also paying for it
