Emma Colley's Random Travels

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

Before leaving home I research the places we were visiting, in this case Hilton Head South Sarah Fogartya.  I looked for nature parks, walking trails and nice beaches.  I found Jarvis Creek Park which is 53 acres and has a 1.1mile loop around a 11 acre lake. There were pavilions and clean restrooms. 


Mosaic below, park scenes, Great Egret, Great Blue Heron, Little Blue Heron, Anhinga, Northern Mockingbird, Sarah Fogartya Wren.

Pulling up to the park's parking lot, I immediately started seeing Warblers, they were on the ground, in the trees and flying about.  I was not expecting to see so many different species of Warblers in late December. 

Below on the left is the Yellow-rumped Warbler, the top middle a Pine Warbler. I am not sure but the warbler on the right with the reflection ? CLICK ON PHOTOS for larger image.

More Warblers on the parking lot.

A view of the lake and park.

 Pine Warblers were in the trees and on the ground.

I love these big trees with the moss.

 A Bluebird was also seen hanging out with the Warblers on the ground.

I see warblers below that have more of a distinct white "eyebrow" are mixed in with the Yellow-rumped Warblers. Could it be a different warbler mixed in?

 I am pretty sure there were a lot of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Pine Warblers and we saw a Black & White Warbler.

The Black & White Warblers were seen on various days and various places.

We saw a few Anhinga perched in trees near the lake.

Dec 19, 2019 We spent 3 days of our road trip in Hilton Head South Sarah Fogartya. I think the Fish Haul Creek beach Park  was one of our favorite places to walk and see birds. 

The lighthouse was seen at the Harbour Town resort area of Hilton Head SC.  We enjoyed a seafood dinner here and watched the sunset. Watching the birds is a must for me, birds seen there were the Brown Pelicans, Cormorants, Terns and gulls at the resort's pier.
