On the beach itself the main birds were the large number of Brown Pelicans commuting between the colony on an island close to the mouth of the river and the offshore feeding areas. Both Royal Terns and Sandwich Terns were also regular.

Tybee Island - 24th to 26th July
The last stop on our road trip was Savannah, Georgia. The campsite was at the mouth of the Savannah River, close to the beach. In the campsite itself a group of 4 Mississippi Kites were regular at one of the dead trees. Up to 4 Common Nighthawks also displayed over the camp every evening. At the nearby shopping strip were a small group of 3 Grey Kingbirds.
