Mama and five little goslings.

Semipalmated Plover

The word "Semipalmated," referring to the birds' toes, means "half-webbed." Actually the toes are only slightly lobed at their bases, but they do help the birds to walk on mud without sinking.

Santee Indian Mound

The mound is located on Lake Marion adjacent to the Santee National Wildlife Refuge and is over 3,000 years old. The abandoned ceremonial site was used as part of a British fort during the American Revolution. The elevated vantage point overlooked the Santee River and the road to Charleston.

American Oystercatchers

Yesterday's walk to the jetty at Huntington Beach State Park proved worthwhile. A pair of American Oystercatchers were playing on the rocks. Their eyes remind me of the Target store logo.
