I enjoyed this writing so much. We’re in SC now & the week has been great. A visit to an Audobon Preserve was a delight & I recorded 19 birds in 10 minutes. We’ll check out the Port Royal wetlands.

Thank you Cathy. If you are near Port Royal it is definitely worth a visit to Cypress Wetlands.

I love your pictures, I don't always get time to do much reading but it's lovely to know that even when I can't there's something beautiful to look at.

I have just been musing in my latest post on how the heron might be my creature of the year for 2025 - and I came across this post! The images of the Great Egret are truly stunning. Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope that you succeed in manifesting the sanctuaries in your area.
