This last weekend, October 11-13, 13 members of the Lee and
Lois Herndon Chapter of TOS braved two days of nasty rain
and high winds to record 92 species around Georgetown and
Charleston. We visited the Francis Beidler Forest on
Saturday which included a night hike in the Four Holes
swamp. On Sunday, we birded the Pitt St. Bridge, the Isle of
Palms Causeway, Garris Landing at Cape Romain, the Hampton
Plantation Historical Site, and Island Road when the rain
was at it?s worst. On Monday, when the weather cleared, we
started in Georgetown, then to the Santee Coastal Reserve,
and finished up late Monday afternoon at Super Sod Farm near
Orangeburg.
Of note: anhinga, great egret, snowy egret, little blue
egret, tricolored egret, white ibis, wood stork, osprey,
eagle, Northern harrier, red-shouldered hawk, Merlin,
clapper rail, king rail, Virginia rail, sora, semipalmated
plover, American oystercatcher, willet, ruddy turnstone,
sanderling, Western sandpiper, dunlin, Wilson?s snipe,
laughing gull, royal tern, Forster?s tern, least tern,
black skimmer, red-cockaded woodpecker, shrike, fish crow,
brown-headed nuthatch, marsh wren, Cape May warbler,
black-throated blue warlbler, pine warbler, palm warbler,
black-and-white warbler, American restart, common
yellowthroat, and boat-tailed grackle.
The terrain was mostly loblolly or long-leaf pine, palmetto,
beach / tidewater, or black water swamp.
The party included Brookie and Jean Potter, Joe McGuiness,
Kim Stroud, Jim and Darla Anderson, Lisa Tyler, Don Holt and
Diane Draper, Mary Anna Wheat, Eric and Cathy Noblitt, and
Charles Moore. The trip was organized by Joe McGuiness.
However, the Potters and the Andersons had been to some of
the spots on earlier trips and were well acquainted with the
territory.
