A new adventure today at a new wildlife refuge

Hey hey its AL with a special edition to my blog today with a new adventure that I took today at wildlife Refuge in Hilton head called Pickney's Wildlife Refuge.

I caught several new species of birds that are never found in central North Carolina where I am from.

I was able to a get a Tri Colored Heron picture. Try Colored Herons are really cool herons to photograph and still did not find the bird I wanted to take pictures of the Wood Stork, so hopefully next time I am here I can get pictures of these bird, the wood storks.

This a Belted Kingfisher , that I also see in Central North Carolina where I currently reside.

Belted Kingfishers are wading birds as well and they eat fish just like the other wading birds.

This is an Anhinga which is also a wading bird that we don't have in central North Carolina. But I am really happy , I was able to catch this bird here at the Wildlife Refuge.

Theses birds are really cool to photograph especially at this wildlife refuge.

This is an American Coot which I also photographed today at the wildlife refuge, getting different views of it.

This is American Alligator, which I also got photographs of it while it was sleeping on the bank. These alligators were really cool to photograph. I have not seen an Alligator in Central North Carolina yet.

I had a great experience at a fun time at this new wildlife Refuge my mentor, Al D recommended to me and I will hopefully will return with my friend from Florida so we finally find Wood Storks so I can photograph them here and see what else we can spot here in the future.

Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday. This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

A another new variant of covid

There is many new variants of covid but the one we are going to talk about on this post is MU variant of covid virus. The MU variant of covid was found in Columbia , South America in January 2021. This variant has caused some outbreaks in Europe, south A,Erica and the United States. The vaccines of covid and treatments are less effective in this variant. By far this one is not spreading as quickly as the original covid variant and Delta variant of covid . But for most the quickest one of the spread of the covid variant is still the Delta variant . The symptoms are the same as the variants of the covid and delta variant. So please take extra caution around these variants.
