We spent the night at an ocean front hotel on Pawleys Island to be closer to the starting point of our Tuesday adventure at Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center. While enjoying coffee on the balcony and hoping for sunrise images a Snow Goose flew by. Surprise!
Later that morning at Tom Yawkey a flock of at least eight Snow Geese flew by.
The flock formed a V and disappeared.
Human access to the barrier islands that make up the Tom Yawkey property is limited, making it an excellent stopover and wintering ground for many migratory birds.

I was just reading at a website that the south island has no duck hunting permitted. Am I to gather that the rest of the 24,000 acres are open to hunting to some people? I really hope not 🙁
I am always amazed at the distances our feathered friends fly — we will see or hear them again on the Canadian prairies in the Springtime 🍃
Truly remarkable journeys 😀
Absolutely love the blue pre-dawn light you captured in the first photo – beautiful!
Thanks, Sam!
