Santee Coastal Reserve Part II

Last Monday I had a very nice "staycation" outing back to the Santee Coastal Reserve Wildlife Management Area north of McClellanville, S.C.

It was warm day and very buggy on some pathways along the 24,000 acre nature site. But my friend Beverly Donald and I came away with some excellent photographs. The clouds were gorgeous, enhancing wide shots like the ones below.
Love this photo!

Yellow-Crowned Night Heron

Spotted a few yellow-crowned night herons yesterday at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston. I was able to get pretty close to this beautiful bird. It flew away but only to another nearby tree where I got the neat shot of its head poking up over a branch.  Love the night heron's big eyes!
