Surprise, Surprise!



Ok, this really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point. But David and I checked out yet {another} wildlife area this past weekend in Savannah. This one I was really fond of, because you drove through. So no walking needed. That's my kind of wildlife refuge! It is the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge and it's actually in South Carolina.

I won't bore you with all the details, but it was beautiful! We saw tons of gators and some birds of course! I'll just let the pictures do the talking.




Anhinga aka snake bird

Black bellied whistling-ducks (a rare sighting for this area!)

Great Blue Heron

American Alligator

Two {love!} doves


The rarest species of them all!

Green Heron


Wood Storks

Purple Gallinule

Belted Kingfisher

Tri-Color (formerly Louisiana} Heron
Thankfully the weather held out and we were able to get out of the house a little bit. I couldn't convince David to go up to Hilton Head to the outlets with me, so I guess the Wildlife Refuge was a good compromise.

Maybe one day I will update the blog with something other than birding pictures :-D
