Sunset Beach, NC Wildlife Photography

Sunset Beach, NC Wildlife Photography Leslie Schalkoff I'd love to hear about your wildlife sightings as well. Let's explore this place together.

Since moving to Sunset Beach, NC, I have been learning about the wildlife and flora of this unique part of coastal Carolina through the view from my camera lens. I have realized how precious and fragile the ecosystem is and hope that by sharing my pictures and insights, you will also realize how essential it is to take care of the beauty that surrounds us.

Put this on your calendar! I’ll have three photos entered (that will also be for sale). This is always a fun time and for a good cause. There are some amazing artists, photographers, and crafts people in the area who traditionally take part. ❤️ I usually attend so would love to meet some of you!

This young little blue heron hasn’t grown into his big feet yet! He followed his mom to the tip top of this vine begging for food and then had a tough time figuring out how to get back down again. 😄 He won’t turn blue like his parents until he’s about a year old.

Our little mallard was sitting on the banks of the canal the other day when, suddenly, off he flew. After he called for a minute, look who showed up! ❤️

Ever feel like you’re going to be attacked by a squirrel? This fox squirrel kept on staring at me in a pretty suspicious manner. Made me a little nervous! Cute, though, isn’t he? 😅

When you are a large bird like this egret, it takes tremendous effort to achieve altitude while taking off. Look at the tips of its wings. They seem to be barely skimming above the water. ❤️

Just by chance, I was taking pictures of this beautiful great egret when it flew in front of some fluffy white clouds. The white bird against the white clouds looks so otherworldly. ❤️

I don’t know how many banded pelicans we have in Sunset Beach, but I have seen one on the east side of the island for a number of years. Is anyone involved in the banding of these fascinating birds who can educate us on the process and identification of banding? I haven’t been able to get a close enough photo to identify markings on the band.
