Animals of Hilton Head



While spending a week at Hilton Head, South Carolina we were surrounded by water and there were many waterways through the island. We visited several wildlife areas and it always seem to be low tide when we got there. We also rode our bikes through the resort area and saw many land loving birds and squirrels.
One of the interesting things was to see the great number of small crabs that would scurry around as you walked along the paths or across the saltwater flats. Of course there were also many waterfowl eating the crabs in these area.
In one area we walked to an area that was the nesting area for the ibis. There were other birds in the area but the trees were full of the white spots of birds sitting on their nest or just roosting in the tree.
Although we did not find that big alligator that were told was there we did see a couple of small alligators and if there are small alligators there must be big alligators. I guess we were just lucky.
Check out all the pictures.
