US state flags have to be designed around a ceremonial crest, many colors, and a Latin line similiar to ‘E Pluribus Greedus”. In other words pompous.
South Carolina has a simple Palmetto Tree and Half Moon. As flags go it’s not bad.

This building and flag were across the street. I decided to get a photo of the design.

Difficult to photograph, but so worth it.
The rotunda on this building is often seen in skyline photographs, yet I have never shot the inside. Gibbes Art Museum, Charleston.
None were in working order, but considering the age of them it’s no surprise.
I was completely unprepared for these. I don’t think I even noticed the Egret until almost on my head (slight exaggeration) .

A bored juvenile Heron.
A mid sized local that tends to stay along the edge of trails.

The classic Owl photograph. While most birds, even large ones, continuously move around, not an Owl. Silent and watchful.
Barred Owl.
