We finally left our friend Anne in Beaufort, SC. While there on Thursday evening we went to an Audubon program on Fripp's Island. The Birds of Prey Center out of Charleston put on the program.
They had 5 birds, 2 of which flew around the room going after bits of food. They were floating just above head top occasionally giving someone a flap of the wings. The presenters had a long day as they presented several times at a school, and then for adults.
Many of the birds at the center are ones that have been injured. In some cases they are rehabilitated and in other cases, they become permanent residents at the center. Some of them are exotic birds and not from this area of the world.
For more go to Birds of Prey Center
Most of the land in the southern area of the state along the coast isn't much more than 50 feet above sea level.
Yesterday we took Anne to Parris Island and visited their Marine Museum.
Later a walk around the community.
Today we arrived in Jacksonville, Florida for a two day stay; however, late this afternoon one of the front wheels on the van started making a grinding noise. So here we are on a Saturday night with no reliable wheels. We were supposed to go to the World Golf Hall of Fame tomorrow afternoon, and tomorrow is Sunday. Here we are, stuck at a Navy Inn, 300 yards from a golf course, complete with a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, and it's going to be in the low 70's tomorrow. I guess we will have to check to see if we brought our sandals. Good luck though, the lady at the front desk said there is an Autoport on the base that is open on Sundays. Hopefully we can get service in the morning. If not, there is always the golf course and, according to Punxsatawny Phil, only 3 more weeks of winter.
Keep the faith, winter is coming to an end.
