Santee NWR CBC Sets A New Record



Carolinabirders,

The Santee National Wildlife Refuge Christmas Bird Count, in SC, set a 
new record this year. 136 species were tallied on 29 December 2001. (I 
expect to add at least one more species, as one group has not submitted 
their list.) The old record was set in 1997 with 133 species tallied. This 
year the 34 participants did an outstanding job covering the 12 areas 
within the count circle.

Highlights included:
American Bittern
Wood Stork
White-fronted Goose
Ross’s Goose
Merlin
Peregrine Falcon
Sandhill Crane
Lesser Yellowlegs
Spotted Sandpiper
dowitcher species
Barn Owl
Fish Crow
Red-breasted Nuthatch
ammodramus sparrow species

Thanks to everyone who helped make this count so successful. 

Good Birding,     Lex
