Sullivans Island

The group went to Sullivans Island on Thursday, January 17, 2019. The weather was extremely friendly, the sky pretty clear with some clouds. There was some wind, but it was still warm. The plants we saw were found on the walk to the beach and up in the dunes. Specifically, we saw bluestems, great mullein, camphorweed, beach evening-primrose, Spanish dagger, prickly pears, sea oats, southern Russian thistle, pines, and black-jacks. We also saw a dead Atlantic horseshoe crab and artist's bracket and allies which is a type of fungus. I thought it was fascinating how many different plants can grow on the side of the beach. Also, I thought it was interesting the decaying animals on the beach. I did not get a picture of them, but there were a bird and a raccoon decaying on the beach and what was so interesting about them was that they were on the sand of the beach. You usually don't see those animals there.
