Model Egret
While riding our bikes along Governor’s drive, we
saw a snowy egret fishing in Canvasback Pond. I
went over to the wooden dock to take pictures of the
egret pulling fish out of the water, when it flew over
to the dock and landed on the railing (apparently
unphased by my presence). Shocked to see the bird
so close to me, I stood still for about half an hour as
the egret walked along the railing to the other side,
jumped in the water to have a quick bite to eat and
then hopped back up onto the railing as if it were
posing for the camera. It was amazing to see!

Egrets are signature icons on Kiawah
Island that are both graceful and beautiful.

Great Blue
The great blue heron is our
favorite bird on the Island. We
often stop to watch them as they
sit perfectly still, waiting to grab
an unsuspecting fish swimming by.
