The current spell of colder weather was highlighted by a damaging nor’easter on Sunday, Dec. 17 that wreaked havoc in the Charleston area. Fortunately we had no major problems here in North Charleston.
Since that storm, temperatures have hit freezing overnight.
This is a favorite new photograph of a Wood Stork at dusk on the edge of a pond near my backyard.
Bird activity at our backyard feeders has been frenzied as the chill in the air has our feathered friends eager to fill their bills and bellies.
Eastern Bluebirds and Chipping Sparrows have been among at least a dozen species I have spotted. I’ll show some more feeder photos later but first…
Wood Storks are not regular guests at the golf course pond near our backyard so it definitely caught my eye to see this one the day of the big nor’easter. Maybe it was blown off direction!
This Stork had a fishing partner in a Great Egret. Ahead in this post is video I took of the Wood Stork hunting in the small pond.
