Boat-tailed Grackles were ubiquitous and at any time a Brown Pelican could fly overhead. One massively negative aspect of birding Tybee Island is the sheer volume of feral cats and outdoor cats. The beaches and ocean of Tybee Island had the expected species like Royal Tern , Brown Pelican , and Black Skimmer. I hope not!
