24 # I love photographing Kiawah’s diverse wildlife. - Bob Hill 25 # Our family loves to ride bikes on Kiawah and see who can spot the most alligators. Occasionally, our reptilian friends even visit us on our back lawn to bask in the bright Kiawah sun. - Brian Beaty Number 26 I love to watch the family of deer that I often see early in the morning on my way to work or late in the afternoon hanging around the Sandcastle. - Amy Cook 27 No. Our yard is a certified wildife habitat, so we are pleased to host many creatures, large and small. One morning, I walked along a garden path out to the Kiawah River and discovered this newborn fawn nestled in the scrub. It stayed perfectly still, even as I went back to the house to fetch a camera, and let me approach it, showing no fear and making no attempt to run away. Hours later, it remained but was gone by dusk. - Peter Mugglestone
