A Visit to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge's Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive and Listening to Georgia Ports

Earlier today, I took my Mother across the Savannah River to visit the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge's Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive. It was a great day to visit; the sky was sunny and temperatures were warming after a couple of overcast chilly days. Alligators and turtles were out enjoying the sun and although Autumn and Winter's migratory waterfowl have moved on, there were plenty of other birds to see. We counted 52 alligators, and that was just from the car; I didn't get out and walk any of the trails today. Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive also happens to be just across the Savannah River from Georgia Ports, so there is plenty of Marine VHF and Railroad activity to monitor from the Port (there is also a lot of traffic on the GPA DMR trunking system, but I didn't scan it today).
