On our final day before getting to New Smyrna Beach, Florida we visited Harris Neck, Georgia. The habitat was wonderful, as were the birds, mammals and plants.
A great way to start the day was with a Dolphin, which I was unable to photograph. Followed immediately by a very cooperative Clapper Rail
The water birds were both numerous and diverse, including this Little Blue Heron.
Snowy Egrets, Black-crowned Night-Herons and a single Brown Pelican were at one of the ponds.
Dominating the little birds were Carolina Chickadees and Myrtle Warblers (known as Yellow-rumped Warblers to most people).
Oak mistletoe was easy to spot in many of the oaks.
The highlight of the day were two River otters, which are always a treat.
A final mammal was an Armadillo that wanted nothing to do with us.
More tomorrow from Florida.
