Georgia on my…Magnus? Day 13

Monday, February 23

On our morning walk, Molly and I saw lots of birds on the trail near the nature center. Merlin recorded Brown-headed Nuthatch and Yellow-throated Warbler, but I didn’t see them. I saw kinglets, bluebirds, and butterbutts. What else? Hmm…I don’t remember. I got in a rush because I got turned around on the trail and didn’t know the easiest way back to the “golf cart cut through.” Silly me.

On the way back (or maybe it was later) I saw three Wood Storks soaring around the tall pine trees. Awesome!  Of course I didn’t have my camera. But now having seen what they look like in flight, I’ll never forget them.

It was too cold to sit outside with my morning coffee, so I was stuck in a tiny house with a big TV.  Misery.

 

But then we took a day trip to Jekyll Island Driftwood Beach. It was awesome. There were lots of birds out in the water but too far to ID. No whales, darn it!  I looked long and hard.

 

 

 

For dinner we ate at St. Mary's Seafood and more. It was pretty good. I had a salad bar ($3 extra), broiled grouper and hushpuppies and rice. The fish was pretty tasteless but I enjoyed it. And I got plenty to eat. The hushpuppies were very sweet. I may have to watch that sort of thing in future because it seems to trigger my sugar craving.
