My new noel BEACH HOUSE FOR RENT wouldn’t be possible without the brilliant, generous professionals who enthusiastically shared their knowledge with me. One of those people who deserves great thanks is Felicia Sanders of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, for the education she gave me on shorebirds, seabirds, and wading birds. Because of her deep passion for these beautiful creatures who rely on our coastline for survival, I’ve invited her to share her knowledge and wisdom (and great photos) on my blog today with hopes that this knowledge will help us all be better stewards every time we visit the beach.
