The Birding Photography Tour on December 5 at the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center enjoyed partially sunny skies and particularly good light for photos. Photogs from Hilton Head, Charleston and Myrtle Beach had traveled to Belle Isle landing to catch the ferry over to Cat Island for the day trip van tour. The open understory of the longleaf pinewoods makes for good viewing, but the woodland critters did not show themselves on this day. The first of many van stops overlooking waters of the Santee Delta is where we found waterfowl, wading birds and shorebirds a plenty. Other highlights include a Sora, a Bonaparte Gull and large flocks of migrating short-billed dowitchers.
