Another Hilton Head Island sunset in South Carolina.

Last night the remaining eaglet pictured here HH4, also fell from the nest. There is a video of seizures but not sure which eaglet it was. So it seems there is some sort of illness or poisoning.

The same man rescued HH4 from the ground, still alive. He has placed a call to the rehab center and will bring HH4 to them when they open.

Prayers these sweet babies recover.

Hilton Head Island sunset.

I saw what I thought was a milkweed bug eating a fly but then I realized it had to be an assassin bug because milkweed bugs exclusively drink the sap from milkweed.

This is a nymph as you can tell by the incomplete development of the wings. When you see these little wing buds think nymph.

The Skippers and Monarchs are still flying.

A super moon is a full moon occurring at the point where the moon is closest to earth in its orbit.

This was a beautiful scene after the passing of Hurricane Matthew. In the next shot is a photo of an alligator in the same body of water. That photo was taken several days later.

Daufuskie Darling the gray one and Comet the brown one are marsh tackies.

It was cool at the beach this evening but the beautiful moonrise was a sight to behold. Here the moon just breaks away from the horizon.

I have been fascinated by the phenomenon of a second orb appearing near the horizon as the sun or moon arises. If it was a result of light reflecting off of the water visible to us the reflection would appear in the water. But what about the reflection coming off the water behind the horizon. That might explain the projection above the horizon.

If there are any astronomers out there who can explain this phenomenon I would love to hear it!

These birds are said to sleep during the day but with the hurricane weather I think he is disoriented.

Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.
