    LOWCOUNTRY LEISURE GUIDE Where to Go • What to Do MARCH 2020- MARCH 2021 HILTON HEAD | BLUFFTON | BEAUFORT | SAVANNAH Lowcountry Wildlife he Lowcountry abounds T with wildlife, making this area a natural wonderland. Listen for birdsongs from cardinals and mockingbirds by day, the familiar hoot of the barred owl at night and the bobwhite quail whistle at daybreak. Birders enjoy the diversity of avian creatures in the Lowcountry, particularly in the spring and fall. Some birds can be seen all year, including the great blue heron, night heron, white egret and laugh- ing gull. Bring a pair of binoculars to look for native and migratory birds. White-tailed deer roam the Lowcountry, nibbling on wild leaves and fruit. They can be shy during the day, but at sunset the local deer popula- tion tends to migrate, so beware of deer entering roadways at dusk or late at night. Near the many lagoons, alligators and bull- frogs are plentiful. Never feed, taunt or get too close to the local population of alligators – remember that alligators truly are wild ani- mals, however docile they may seem. Each year, loggerhead sea turtles nest on the beaches of the Lowcountry between May and August. Nesting occurs at night, when the female crawls ashore on the beach and digs a nest in the sand with her flippers. Loggerhead turtles typically lay between 100 to 125 eggs, before covering the nest with sand and returning back to the ocean. Approximately 60 days later, the baby sea turtles hatch and head towards the sea, ready to begin their journey of life.
