Getting down low with the Pelicans as the flew by made for some nice opportunities.
Here he was only a few inches over the surface. Photo shot where the Kiawah and Stono rivers meet to empty into the ocean.

Wood Stork End Of Day
Storks, like all birds, look for a place to settle in for the night. This was late afternoon when a small group came back from feeding.
Storks are a little different when roosting. They need some place a bit larger than the average bird.
Like a huge pine.
Making An Entrance, Brown Pelican
Brown Pelicans can be a contradiction. A clumsy dinosaur on land, even working to take off. However, once in the air they are in complete control.
Below an adult almost stopped in mid flight to gently float down into the shallow surf.
Because this is such a busy place, with many opportunities, I tried to hold back on ‘the button’ until just as they dropped down. Of course many shots were trash, few perfect, but still amazing to get the chance at these.
Out For A Walk, Baby Snowy
He went out for an adventure. While not a great idea it went well.
There we’re several Ibis nearby watching yet it didn’t bother the little one at all. At this early age the ‘Snowy Egret Attitude’ was already there. 😁
Tricolored Heron
Full sunlight on the water as the small heron flew by.
Might Regret They Moved South, White Pelicans
Now that we have hit that ‘wonderful’ tropical heat/humidity these residents might be wishing for cooler northern weather.
At least they didn’t make that long trip.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Laughing Gull Chilling
A single, quiet, Laughing Gull.
I wasn’t sure they could be still like this.
Coney Island Beach Scene
Each time I see this shore it reminds me of ConeyIsland, or Rockaway, in NYC.
Best viewed large.
