Yesterday (11-21-06)Virginia and I were picnicking on Roast Beef sammichs from the Kitchen Door (very excellent by the way) at Red Bud Isle just below the Tom Miller dam. We heard so chipping sparrows in the trees, but I didn't get a good enough look to confirm. What we did see though was the South American Anhinga, a cormorant-like bird that gets up here along the coast and on large water ways during the summer. I thought it odd he would be up here this late, but his fan tail, long slender neck and dart like head and beak was pretty unmistakable. (I only saw him flying, low over the water, and originally thought he might be a cormorant, but the book confirmed he was an Anhinga. Pretty cool.
Beautiful day, but those were the only birds we saw.
