For the second week in a row, the Mystery Photo is of a bird somewhere in Charleston County. Where specifically is this and what do you know about it? We’ll forward some City Paper swag to the 24th person who correctly identifies this week’s mystery. To enter (one entry per person), send your guess, name and hometown in an email to: mystery@charlestoncitypaper.com.

LAST WEEK’S MYSTERY showed a 9-foot-tall plastic pelican near the entrance of Shem Creek Park in Mount Pleasant. Congratulations to Angela May of Mount Pleasant who was the 12th person to correctly identify the photo by the City Paper’s Ruta Smith.

Every Monday, the City Paper offers a mystery photo taken somewhere in the Lowcountry. We encourage you to guess — and make sure to share your name and the town in which you live. We’ll uncover the mystery the following week and, every now and then, give a prize.

BONUS: If you want to submit a mystery photo taken by you for us to share, send it to our mystery email address. Make sure to put “Submission” in the subject line.

PAST MYSTERIES: While the guessing time on these mysteries is over, you might like seeing some old mystery photos that readers have puzzled over. Enjoy!
