Skidaway Island Wildlife: Birds of the Air

Birds of the Air – Bird of the Week – Wildlife Photography

Neal and I have been house sitting on the Moon River at The Landings on Skidaway Island. The island has been a choice place to build expensive homes and condos for years.

One thing most of these residents seem to forget; wildlife was here before them and wildlife is still present. After all Skidaway Island State Park is located at the entrance to the island.

The Landings Association has really done a good job of keeping lots of the native habitat although there are houses everywhere. One day we traveled to a marina nearby and found a gorgeous lagoon teaming with birds and aquatic animals. Instantly we fell in love!
