We left our campsite bight and early and drive 3 hours further down to Hunting Beach. Along the way we arrived stopped at Frances Marian National Forest at 10:20 am. We hiked off trail though tick infested grasses and weeds, hoping we wouldn't step on or startle a Cotton Mouth along the way. This adventure was an attempted to find the beautiful and rare Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. Unfortunately we were unable to find the birds but we did see Red-Bellied Woodpeckers. We did see some a few green anoles, a huge grass hopper, and a large moth caterpillar.

At the Nature Center's Board Walk we got to see many amazing birds up close. We saw a White Ibis, Great Egret, Wood Storks, a Clapper Rail, Little Blue Heron, and a Great Blue Heron. We also got to see a Roseate Spoonbill up close and watch it sift through the water for micro invertebrates. It was also getting in the was of a Tri-colored Heron who was standing in the water waiting for small fish to come near him. The Heron was getting really annoyed at the Spoonbill who seemed oblivious to his presences.
