Second visit--Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge

On Father's Day we returned to Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge and mainly walked out to the rookery viewing point and the alligator area.   This bird, which we think is a loon variety sat along the banks taking in the sights.   

The rookery from a distance.   The white birds include wood storks, herons and white egrets.   They live under the protection of the alligators by perching on branches on the island where raccoon cannot reach them.  

Cattails were blooming!

Perfect perching spot for dragonflies.





A patrolling gator watching us.

Butterfly sighting!


A clear dragonfly and an orange one.




On the road leading to the entrance we spotted this mailbox taken over by vines.   Randy made it black and white to make it look older.

An old gas station.
