Return to the Refuge

Sabrina, George and little bunny foo foo!

Water fowl

The road with Spanish Moss....which is actually closely related to the Pineapple plant and not Spanish nor is it moss!

A graceful pose over the wetlands.

Great Blue Heron

We saw several red Cardinals but they don't sit still for photos.   We lucked out.

A large gator.   One girl reported to the Visitor Center that there were nineteen visible on the drive through.   We had not counted but most were thankfully asleep and on the other side of the water from us.

We constantly debated whether these were white blue herons, white ibis or a crane.   Not an ibis as an ibis has a curved beak.   Maybe a heron.  Not until we purchased a bird book and looked it up did we identify it as Great Egret.

Majestic old oak with Spanish moss.

With Randy's mom visiting, we just had to take her to the Savannah Wildlife Reserve to see the wild birds and possibly a gator.   Once again, this fabulous reserve did not disappoint us.   This time the birds were spectacular and Sabrina even made friends with a bunny.
After driving through the reserve, we toured the visitor's center which was marvelous!   They had interactive exhibits for kids, a scene with birds, gators, snakes which helped us get a handle on what the animals look life in life.   Amazing!   We have found our new favorite wildlife hang out!
