First and foremost, we will be contacting our local wildlife rehab in the morning.

We have a robin nesting on the back porch. There were two nestlings, roughly a week old. They're starting to get pin feathers, but are still a ways off from fledgling stage.

We often saw their parent on the nest, and she was in the nest every night by sundown.

As of yesterday, there is only one nestling left and we have not seen the parent at all. We checked the nest at 11:30 tonight and still nothing.

I understand that as birds get older, parents visit less and less. The remaining nestling does have a full stomach and crop.

However, the parent's seeming disappearance coinciding with the missing nestling has us worried.

Hello! I recently accepted a job in Awendaw, and my partner has gotten a job in Myrtle Beach. We're trying to determine a good "middle ground" town to move to.

Our budget is $1500/month rent. We're interested in culture & history, queer community, and natural areas to hike & fish in.

Right now, we're looking at Georgetown and Murrell's Inlet. I really like the affordability and culture of Georgetown, but the crime stats have me wary. Meanwhile, Murrell's Inlet seems to have more natural areas and is safer, but seems less culturally interesting and more expensive.

I'd really love to hear from South Carolinians about what the towns are actually like to live in, and if there's any other towns we should look into.

Thank you!
