APR 18, this week's Carolina lowcountry wildlife


green anole, on backyard fence


Henrietta, the sociable great egret,
at Shem Creek boardwalk


"Blue-tailed skink",
 the origin of that common name is obvious here;
(juvenile five-lined skinks and broad-headed skinks
 have a similar appearance)



jellyfish, recently washed ashore,
Sullivan's Island, SC


a weight-lifting skink


foraging nocturnal opossum
 captured in our porch light 



Henrietta watching kayakers


"Hop to it" (on one leg),
peculiar habit of many shorebirds
