Loons in Oconee County The Common Loons we see in

Loons in Oconee County
The Common Loons we see in this area are approximately 2 1/2′ to 3′ wide. Their bodies are very dense and are designed for diving deep in the water to catch fish. They can dive up to 200 feet deep and stay underwater for 5 minutes. They have the least amount of wing surface to body weight of any bird. They have a short wingspan and can’t glide like other birds. Their legs are positioned towards their tail underneath their bodies, and they are not able to support their weight to walk on land. They look like a “flurry of energy” when they fly and need a great deal of space to get airborne. 📸 @lauriemetz

Have you visited Twice A Town Taproom in Salem yet

Have you visited Twice A Town Taproom in Salem yet? This cheery spot–in “downtown” Salem–draws people from the Riverstone community, Keowee Key and The Cliffs. The taproom is 6 miles from Devils Fork State Park and just 1.3 miles from Hwy. 11, which makes it convenient for visitors stopping by after a day on Lake Jocassee or Lake Keowee. It's a fun place to hangout! https://visitoconeesc.com/spotlight-on-salem-taproom/
