Pinckney Island, Savannah NWRs



Visited Pinckney Island and Savannah National Wildlife Refuges
yesterday--7-17-03.

Spent most of the morning at Pinckney Island, saw lots of herons, egrets and
more White Ibises than everything else together.  Perhaps of interest, I saw
no shorebird, no duck, no gull and one tern in traveling the length of
Pinckney Island.
