Last night the island was cool and breezy. If you were sitting outside as full darkness set in, you were treated

great horned owls joined the chorus, calling back and forth. Was it our very own
Kiawah Symphony Choir?

Are you a butterfly fan? If so, now is a good time to make sure you have

Bottle-nosed dolphin Kiawah is one
of the few places on the planet that you might catch dolphins strand
feeding. The dolphins swim together cooperatively to "round up"
the fish, then drive them towards the shore. Kiawah's dolphins then beach themselves (nearly always on their right side) and scoop up
fish by the mouthful. Have you ever seen our dolphins strand feed?

Watch Out for Wildlife: Fall can be a dangerous time to be
on the roads. As daylight grows shorter, drivers need to be extra
cautious - not only for little ghouls and goblins on Halloween, but for
deer, raccoons and other wildlife as well. Roads are also a leading
cause of decline for some species.
-
This fall, Watch Out for Wildlife by pledging to...
-
Drive with caution in wildlife areas and tell your friends and
family to do the same.
-
Report wildlife vehicle collisions to wildlife and transportation
agencies.
-
Participate in state and local planning and voice your concern about
the negative impacts of roads on wildlife.
