Canoe Trip

My wife and I recently took a canoe trip on the Edisto River through Carolina Heritage Outfitters. It was nice, just the two of us! We had perfect weather and a very relaxing time just floating down the river. We stayed overnight in a treehouse (how cool is that!) and then floated some more the second day.



Along the way, we saw two alligators, tons of vultures (Mostly Turkey, but several Black as well), an Anhinga, a flock of immature White Ibis and lots of Little Blue Herons. There were, of course, some odes and butterflies to be seen as well.

This Roseate Skimmer provided a show as it patrolled the shoreline near where we stopped for lunch on the second day.



A Black-shouldered Spinyleg took the opportunity to ride with us for a few minutes on the canoe.


I also got some shots of several different butterflies, none of which I have ID'ed yet. (I have got to get a butterfly book.)
