Hilton Head Critters

We returned from a week at Hilton Head Island with my family, and I wanted to quickly share some of the wildlife we saw. I’ll post family pictures at a later time. We were all hoping to see large alligators, and we saw one in the water while on our bike ride to the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. However, we didn’t see them lounging around the water’s edge like I remembered from childhood. The boys and I read alligator facts and learned that they are nocturnal and sleep in the sun during the day. So where were they? Maybe they were all hiding on the private golf courses. There was plenty of birdwatching, and they seemed to be okay with people getting close to photograph them.
