A Snowy doing a balancing act along a low hanging branch.
When I shot this I captured a series of this bird on these branches. What struck me was the birds long legs and how I could barely tell them apart from the branches he walked.

The **Santee Delta** is a significant ecological and historical region in South Carolina, known for its rich biodiversity and the legacy of rice cultivation supported by enslaved labor. It is part of the Carolinian South Atlantic UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and features important wildlife management areas and historical sites.
Some of the last ‘Class A’ wilderness arears in the US are in this delta.
Below was taken on cool wet morning on the South Santee river tracing the routes of the boats heading to Hampton Plantation (which also stands the same as centuries ago).

While we tend to refer to them as ‘Green Guys’, their official name is the Carolina Anole. They’re not always green either. This one is looking a bit ‘chunky’.
This summer they have been an easy subject to shoot, adding to that keeping the Godox IT32 flash just about glued to the camera made evening or darker place shooting simple.
