Jekyll Island, Georgia: Yesterday walking along the beach, we saw a brown pelican and a black-headed tern, the tern hunting into the wind, diving into the waves to find its food. A dolphin played in the water of the sound. Throughout the island, live oaks are in bloom, their catkins long, many leaves starting. In the shorn grass along the inland waterway, small, white bluette-type flowers are in bloom, their leaves opposite and round, almost like chickweed leaves.  I saw one red trumpet vine in bloom,  the small yellow oxalis, the flax-like violet flowers with pansy-like blossoms, tall with opposite, thin, grasping leaves, and the ubiquitous black medic. In the undergrowth, a shrub with clusters of four-petaled flowers. As the tide went out, holes of ghost shrimp were revealed, easily identified by the shrimp droppings.
