The Roseate Spoonbills safe place, away from the chaos of the rookeries. The number of different species nesting here is impressive. Even the shy Wood Storks have moved in.
Spoonbills still don’t have a rookery spot in South Carolina. None in Georgia I know of either. It’s a little surprising since Spoonbills have a history of expanding their range when threatened. The drought in Florida would be a good reason to move on I would think.
Off in the upper left, what I thought were rocks or logs, turned out to be a ‘clump’ of big turtles.
Port Royal, South Carolina.
Those alligators should crack a few more turtle shells, Ted. Might sharpen their skills a bit 🙂
Those shells are like iron. Once they reach adult size they just get dents in the shells, maybe a crack on the under shell. 😆
So much beautifull 💯
