HBSP on 1-16-00




Hi Carolinabirders,
	Today, along with another birder, I was at HBSP. The weather was certainly
more seasonable than the balmy weather of last week.  It was clear to high
cloudy with south winds at B.S 3 (at least) on the beach and of lesser
strength inland.  Temps were probably in the high 50's by early afternoon.

9. Tricolored Heron-2
   ?Reddish Egret?-1 briefly seen in flight probably this species.  Flew
into the far side of the jetty pond.  Slate blue gray wings not two toned
