Water Lily
One of the few flowers I’m sure of the name.
In a swamp, South Carolina.

There, all alone.
Skimmer Taking A Short Cut
I had the shot setup, I was ready for him to dip down and start skimming over the water. They are erratic when flying and he proved.
The bird banked a little to his right and flew behind me, over the sand.
Surprising, I caught him anyway.
Least Bittern, Finally
The all time great sneaky Heron. They are in the reeds, even zoom past. Getting photographs is one of the big wildlife challenges.
The American Bittern is just as bad. They look so similar to a Green Heron I might already have captured them, just don’t know it.
Alligator Profiling, Making A Statement (#1)
Most times you hear them. If you also get to see this, you certainly remember it. An Alligator will profile when he is looking for a mate, or a fight. Mating season is past, so this big guy was claiming territory.
Any place else he lets out a few loud, deep growls (again you will remember) and it’s over. I don’t know what set him off, but the big marshes at Donnelley WMA is not the place to be getting all feisty.
When an Alligator is serious they bounce a little, arch their back, and throw their head way up while growling loud.
It suddenly got very loud. Every other big guy started to call him out. Some near him, some near me, heck, some behind me. Sounds travels here.
It’s true that the water can vibrate from their deep growling.
Additional articles will be added ASAP, we have many photographs to finish from this.
Morning At A Marsh
Bear Island WMA, South Carolina.
ACE Basin, South Carolina
Golden Light, Heron
This is all about the light since it’s a pretty basic shot of a Heron.
