29 May 2026 Huguenot State Park: The Spoonbill Pond and the Boneyard on Big Talbot Island


The boneyard is called that because the beach is littered with massive stumps.  We walked all along the beach and then headed north.  We eventually got close enough to Georgia that I could throw a rock and hit it.  We stopped for dinner and  then headed back south.  We got to the Spoonbill Lale just at dusk and the Spoonbills were out for our viewing pleasure.
