We drove 52 miles south to the Donnelly Wildlife Management Area. There were signs on the gate announcing a Special Hunt. Berry noted that there was nothing on the website announcing a Special Hunt. We made a decision to bird our way back to Charleston.
We found a really well managed swamp along highway 17 near Ravenel called the Caw Caw Swamp. This was very impressive. Robert got his trekker’s walking stick out of the car and we set off to investigate the avian content of this park. There were huge reed beds divided by large sloughs and beautiful boardwalks through shallow cypress swamps. We saw several alligators, a little one sunning itself on the grassy path. We wondered where mama was, so we did not bother said baby alligator.

After a nap, we watched part of a baseball game, then drove to a restaurant, Laura Albert’s on Daniel Island. http://lauraalberts.com/
We shared some fried Brie with raspberry sauce. Berry had the Panko encrusted Flounder. Robert had a Beef Filet smothered in blue cheese. Tremendously yum.
