[Bristol-Birds] Bristol/Elizabethton SC Trip

30 December 2005
Charleston, Georgetown, and Horry Counties, South Carolina

Several members of the Russell and Herndon Chapters of TOS just returned
from a mid-week birding field trip to coastal South Carolina.  A GREAT TIME
WAS HAD BY ALL!

Participants included:  Rob Biller, Rack Cross, Don Holt, Reece Jamerson,
Tom and J.T. McNeil, and Dave Worley

Besides great birds, super birding, wonderful weather, awesome seafood,
loads of fun, and tons of laughter...we just had a great time.  The warm
weather even allowed us to see a few butterflies, lizards, and an alligator!

During the trip (nearly 1000 miles logged), we managed to come up with 133
species.  This total included at least one life bird for everyone!
