I recently had the opportunity to travel to Charleston, South Carolina for a business meeting. Of course I flew in early so I could wander a bit, though other than some amazing restaurants, I didn’t really hit any particular tourist attraction. I did see a variety of birds across the two days I was there, including some herons that were shockingly comfortable around people at the Shem Creek boardwalk.
A bird – great heron? – on rocks at the water’s edge with breakfast in its mouth. 
Two birds in an area park in the early morning. 
Seagulls flapping overhead at the Shem Creek boardwalk. 
A painting of a bird above the continental breakfast spread at my hotel. Does this count? 
Possibly a great heron perched on a roof at the Shem Creek boardwalk. 
A white heron perched on the railing at the Shem Creek boardwalk. 
Pelicans at the Shem Creek boardwalk. 
A white heron perched on a post at the Shem Creek boardwalk. A cloud behind its head provides a blur effect as if it had just moved.
