Santee Coastal Reserve 4-21-01



I went back to the reserve today and walked the entire bike / hike trail.
The number of shorebirds was way down from last week. The number of species
was slightly higher with 65, and enough variety to keep me interested. Most
satisfying sighting of the day for me was a pair of Great Horned Owls.
