Sea Birds

What a great birding day I had! Got to the state park about 7:30 and spotted an Anhinga perched on a post on the causeway and it got better from there. Beautiful weather and low tide made it the  greatest day for birding since I arrived in SC. If only CNB bank didn't steal my $250 from their ATM, it would have been a perfect day. It looks like I will have to file a dispute to get my money back. 

Love all my feathered friends and got 3 life birds today!

 This is where it was all happening this morning ...low tide on the saltwater side...see causeway in the background.

To make the morning even more special I saw the first Painted Bunting of my visit. Still hope to someday get a great picture of this beautiful bird. Also got a good look at a Black and White Warbler but no photo...a new bird for my life list.

Amy and Carol in Charleston

A Day in Charleston, SC

 Great weather for our day trip to Charleston yesterday. Here we are near The Battery enjoying the sail boats and the beautiful bridge. We had  lunch at a cafe/bakery called Saffron. I had a sandwich on the best croissant since Paris. Afterwards, we went on a historic carriage ride...more photos to come. On the way home it was PF Changs for dinner.

Thank you Takeshi and Amy for a great day

 

Wheeeee....

Takeshi spotted this Yellow-crowned Night Heron....one for my life list. I've seen and photographed a Black-crowned but this is my first Yellow-crowned....yea!

Easter Sunday

 Jeep

Despite the fact that it rained on and off all day on Easter Sunday we had a nice day. We went to Conway and walked along the river walk and had a yummy lunch at Coopers...a buffet.  I took some nice family photos that I have yet to edit. Also asked Amy to drive me out a little way in the country so I could get some rural pictures for a facebook page that I belong to. Got this absolutely fabulous photo of a jeep....I love it.
We came home and Amy cooked a great ham dinner...it was a lovely day all the way around!
