Why I Love Living in McCormick, SC

tbryan — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 20:35:35 +0000

Spring in South Carolina is one of those enchanting times that come around year after year and always amazes anyone who lives here. Why, because of all the flowering trees, vines and bushes that seem to know the perfect time to intoxicate all of us with their fragrance and beauty. Take for instance the Wysteria plant. Cultivated species include Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda), native to Japan and the hardiest member of the genus; American wisteria (W. frutescens), native to the southeastern United States. Bob and I have been fortunate enough to have purchased a home in McCormick, SC that had mature vines throughout our backyard. Though it […]

Do Birds Perch on One Leg

tbryan — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:45:46 +0000

Birds will often stand on one foot to minimize heat loss. Some birds with fleshy feet, such as doves, have relatively short legs and can hunker down so their warm belly is pressed against their feet while perched, but accipiter’s, such as this young Cooper’s Hawk, have longer legs that make this far more difficult. These birds will often hold one foot inside their belly feathers to minimize heat loss, and often switch back and forth between their feet. Taken from our backyard.

The complete listing of South Carolina’s antler records is now available to the public online.
