These pictures were taken yesterday when we took the shuttle over to St Vincent Island. This Island is 9 miles long and 4 miles wide at its widest area. It is managed by The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and uninhabited. The endangered red wolves are found on this island. I saw a black racer which also was aware of my presents. He was about 3 feet long and was moving very fast so that I was unable to catch up to take a picture. It was amazing how fast it moved, I guess that is why they call it a racer. The Fish & Wildlife allow hunting in the fall for deer and hogs. I guess it is a lottery. The beach on the right of the picture is where I took the picture of Nene and the shorebirds. We also saw Dolphins.
