I have been struggling with how to organize the hundreds of
photos I took on our recent trip to South Carolina and Georgia. While I’m still not sure I have a handle on
it, I think I will kind of start in alphabetical order. That means, I am going to post a few bird
pics today.
We saw all these birds in and around Charleston, SC. None of these birds is particularly exotic,
but they all were more than happy to pose for me, so I was more than glad to
capture them in my camera.
If you’re ever in Charleston and if you like birds, I would
recommend a visit to Magnolia Cemetery where there are lots of water birds and to Folly Beach where the pigeons and
grackles line up just waiting for you to take their picture.

the green heron is a great blue, in my opinion. :) i love the GBH and mallard photo - very dreamy. and that orange pigeon is gorgeous!!!
are those gray geese? i like their short bills.
Looks like you had some awesome sightings...dare I say, I think I like that first pigeon shot the best...and that is saying a lot as I am a huge fan of the GBH!
Beautiful- I love that you were able to capture them all in this way. They don't seem to know you are there at all.
Thanks! On second thought, I think that Green Heron is a Blue Heron. I think the fact that his neck is so folded threw me off. Still...
Great shots! Thank you for sharing!
Those geese look very much like our Toulouse geese, Barbara -- only the markings on ours aren't as pronounced.
Superb captures -- love that grackle. :)
Beautiful photos, Barbara! Those pigeon shots are awesome - love the colors! That second heron is indeed a Great Blue Heron.
AWESOME captures.....lovin' the pigeons pretty purple necklace!!
organize pictures?!?! that's always on my to do list!!
great bird photos
the pigeons are my favorite today, they are so beautiful and the grackle is super shot, black birds are hard to capture detail and you did it.
Wonderful images of all your beautiful wildlife..
I have pigeons in my garden..they are my garden hoovers cleaning up the seeds dropped from my feeders..
Lovely. I've been on a bit of a bird kick myself recently. Keep snapping!
they are all awesome! you've been lucky and happy there :-)
Folly beach sounds like a great idea to hang out and do some birding. I love all the birds and the pigeons are gorgeous colors. Beautiful photos.
Pigeons are cool and get no respect! Great pictures of those guys. I like the water drop off the heron's beak. Well done.
Fun post!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
An interesting series of birds and great photos.
A wonderful series!
I love the second pigeon image. The color of its feathers and that blue background is lovely!!!
enjoyed each and every one; lovely.
Hi there - the gloss on the grackle is great. And I think pigeons are a much overlooked bird!

Excellent captures Barb! Lovely to see these sun filled photos. Can't wait to see more!
Pigeons are beautiful, actually:)
You have a real gift, Barbara, a great eye for capturing the right moments! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Exciting when you get so many bird shots it takes a fair amount of sorting to get them into a semblance of order.
That last shot of the grackle is superb as is the cute red-brown pigeon.
Wonderful captures! I love the pair of geese on the bank.
These are great bird shots Barbara! And you're right, pigeons are beautiful!
Oh my goodness ..... these are AWESOME!
