 Hollybourne Cottage. This is just one of the "cottages" on Jekyll Island that functioned as vacation retreats. This one was built in 1890. Visitors can tour the cottage during May on Jekyll Island- only a few miles from St. Simons. |

 We saw two dolphins today while boating near Fancy Bluff. One was fishing, going up the river near our house. The other was spouting, blowing spray into the air. It was just a lovely day for boating in the Golden Isles. |

 CormorantsThe cormorants were everywhere when we went on our one boat trip before the weather got really cold. They dive for fish. Cormorants do not have water proof feathers, so they have to dry out their feathers. When they do, they sit with their wings extended in a characteristic pose. |
