A LIMPKIN continues to be seen at Savannah NWR in SC. Look along the Laurel

for several months; most recently reported on 3-11.

2 RED-NECKED GREBES have been seen at Huntington Beach State Park in SC for a
couple of weeks. Look around the south jetty at that park.
A LECONTE'S SPARROW has been present for a couple of weeks in Swanboro, NC.
Look in a field off the Main St. Extension which is a dirt road. Look for a
sign for Deer Run Housing Development , walk into the field at the sign and
look around the tall grasses near a strip pond.
