December 2019 road trip to Hilton Island and Florida. These are some critters/birds seen at the Pinckney Island NWR just a 1/2 mile west of Hilton Head Island.



Below are the Great Egret, juvenile Little Blue Heron, Great Blue Heron and a Snowy Egret.

Happy Thankful Thursday

 Hello, Happy Thursday! 


  I am sharing more of our Hilton Head SC visit. On Dec 20, we visited different parks and beaches, we walked until we couldn't. A total of 7.8 miles for the day..  The first park was the Pinckney Island NWR, the Coastal Discovery Museum, Audubon Newhall Nature Preserve and  Coligny Beach Park.

 Bluebirds and a pretty blue sky!

 Me and my shadow (hubby).. at the Pinckney Island NWR in Hilton Head SC.

 Wood Pewee?  I am just guessing. 

 The boardwalk at the Coastal Discovery Museum.

I really liked this sea turtle sculpture seen at the Coastal Discovery Museum. 

 A group of Hooded Mergansers were seen from the boardwalk above. 

 At the Audubon Newhall Preserve, we saw the Brown-headed Nuthatches. They seem to like the Loblolly Pine trees.

 The Coligny Beach Park in Hilton Head was very nice.

Below, Black Skimmer with Ring-billed Gulls and possibly juvenile Forster's Terns with the black eye patch.

Can you make out a faint partial halo or circle around the sun, or am I imagining things. Our walk on the Coligny Beach in Hilton Head South Carolina.

A cloudy sunset, but a peaceful and pretty beach walk.

I am thankful for new experiences, in the past year and for those to come in the new year 2020!
Always thankful for the small things, walks on the beaches and bird sightings.
I am always thankful for your visit and comments.
Live simple and be happy!  😊
