Dolphin Watch Volunteer Project Update

Embarking from Bell's Landing in Savannah, a small group of us set out to explore the captivating world of bottle-nose dolphins. With a knowledgeable skipper, his wife (also a talented photographer), and a couple of companions from Hilton Head, our voyage promised a day filled with exciting encounters and valuable insights.

As we ventured into the estuaries, our eyes scanned the waters in anticipation of spotting these majestic creatures. Although the dolphins initially eluded us, our perseverance paid off when we chanced upon a remarkable sight—an osprey perched atop a towering nest, gracefully overlooking the surrounding waters.

Port Royal Sound Foundation

The Port Royal Sound is 1,600 pristine acres of water, marsh, and land.  It extends from the northern sea islands in Beaufort to the sparkling waves rippling onto the immaculate shoreline of Hilton Head Island.

Life on Daufuskie Island - A Resident’s Insight on Island Living

An early morning cup of coffee on your Daufuskie Island porch awakens your senses as you begin a typical spring day like many Americans. Yet, in the absence of rumbling motors and horns, you hear an osprey’s babies chirping for breakfast from their eyries.
