Adjacent to Hilton Head Island is the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. On the island is Ibis Pond, a rookery for local and migrant birds. It is a little early for the babies but the gang is all there. I apologize that I am not very expert in bird identification, so I will just post the photos and let the experts name them.

The editing and PP are not my best because I am too impatient to wait until I return home, so I am editing on the road on a laptop.

Sony a7rm3, 100-400 GM lens, handheld.
