Lowcountry Life

On Saturday, Aug. 24, Habersham’s Andrea Ogiony observed a Cooper’s Hawk sitting on a fence in her back yard for a long period of time. As she approached to take this photo, the hawk sat staring but did not move. Concluding the bird was either sick or injured, Ogiony called the Avian Conservation Center (https://thecenterforbirdsofprey.org/). Agreeing that some action needed to be taken, a volunteer came to pick up the bird within the hour and transport it to their Avian medical facility. To submit a Lowcountry Life photo, you must be the photographer or have permission to submit the photo to be published in The Island News. Please submit high-resolution photos and include a description and/or names of the people in the picture and the name of the photographer. Email your photos to theislandnews@gmail.com.
