The Oatland Island Wildlife Center is located just outside Savannah GA. It consists of several species of birds and mammals, most of them native, surrounded by walking trails in a large tract of forest and marshland. Most of the display animals were alas asleep (the park closes at 4pm, before the nocturnals start waking up), but I had a good time looking for the small natives running around the place. Here are some photos.
The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
