Sunrise walk and birds~Edisto Beach SP

Howdee all,

This is our last full day at

Edisto Beach State Park

I woke up, looked out our bedroom window and saw a bit of color in the sky…Lets catch the sunrise….

We grabbed some warm clothing and rushed out to the beach.

There were only two other people on the beach 

Just starting to show..

Here we go..

Oh..I just noticed I captured a bird in this one..

any guesses?

And, as if by magic..the suns has risen another day!

We walked the beach,north,to the inlet

Across the inlet we see birds..

I didn’t bring my bins..I was in such a hurry..

Luckily Jeff had his and I had my trusty compact camera with its mega zoom.

All the photos are cropped ..

Black skimmer, American Oystercatchers, Bonaparte, Laughing and Ring-billed  Gull, Royal and Forster’s Tern, a Willet and a few unidentified peeps..just to far..

We did Id this little fella

With the big honker..

Wilsons Plover

Heavily cropped photo.

I walked around to the end of the point as far as I could go..

Without disturbing the Brown Pelican and distant Great Blue Heron on the Pier.

A pen shell lit up by the morning sun..

I loved the shell and the ripples..

I have some glorious photos of Pen shells lit up here ~our Sanibel trip.

We turned around to the half mile back toward the campground..

Stopping to look at shells..

The scene..

Willets in the surf..

Oh…look at this mound of shells!

I know my sicksta Lori will be drooling when she sees this..

Jeff and I bent our shadows down to look for a few goodies..

Lots of shell remnants..

A big old black shell..

Back in the campground..

Eurasian Collared-Dove..

A quick look behind our campsite..

Tri-colored and Little Blue Heron..

Oh what a glorious morning..

Time for breakfast…a blog post and then our afternoon adventure!
