OLDFIELD CELEBRATES RETURN OF BALD EAGLES
Okatie, S.C. – The time has arrived, and bald eagles have returned in full force to the Lowcountry. Oldfield Naturalist Marvin Bouknight eagerly anticipates seeing them each year. As the largest bird of prey, eagles are amazing in both size and ability. Bouknight enjoys watching them on the wing, actively hunting amidst the flocks of seagulls, terns, ducks and coots. Out on the Okatie, they actively pursue any water bird in their vicinity. The eagle starts out by cruising and circling around to isolate its prey. Once singling out a bird on the wing or on the water, it is a battle of agility, power and endurance.

Eagles are just one of nature’s wonders that can be closely observed in the wetlands around Oldfield. To learn more about this Lowcountry community, visit www.oldfield1732.com or call (866) 653-3435.
