Today, I went to Huntington Beaxh State Park, Murrells Inlet, Georgeton
County, SC to do some shorebird counting at the jetty pond. Very few
scattered shorebirds there. It was a rather windy due to the effects of
Tropical Depression 3 offshore.

Great Egret-2
Snowy Egret-1
Tricolored Heron-1
REDDISH EGRET-1According to Sibley a 2nd yr. bird
Green Heron-1

The Corps of Engineers has finally begun the dredging of the inlet.
They are renourishing the beach at Garden City and will renourish the
