Living in Maine, we see our share of shorebirds. But one we don’t have up here in the north is the pelican.
.
.
I don’t know why they fascinate us, but they do.
.
.
So bear with me while I share our pelican watching at Botany Bay.
.
.
The low country provides ideal habitat and fishing opportunities for these guys and they take full advantage of the bounty.
.
.
Herons as well.
.
.
Though they often show a flagrant disregard for the rules.
.
.
I could honestly have stayed and watched them fish all day.
.
.
But we had reservations for a tour in Beaufort and had to get back on the road.
.
.
Not having nearly enough time to finish exploring, we vowed to return.
.
.
And be careful of snakes.
.
.
Saying goodbye to the glorious oaks…
.
.
We made our way out.
.
.
Down that marvelous canopied road.

River's world.....
