Hello,
I thought some of you might be interested in hearing the observations from
the first official Saturday bird walk at the new Caw Caw Interpretive Center off
Hwy 17 in Ravenel, South Carolina. The weather was rather cold and we
missed some of the everyday waders by conveniently skipping the cross dikes
where the wind was harsh. Maybe the weather will be better this
weekend.
Here is the day list:
Wood Duck 1
Green-winged Teal 13
Hooded Merganser 1
Black Vulture 1
Turkey Vulture 5
Bald Eagle 2, 1 adult and 1 juvenile
Red-shouldered Hawk 1

Common Snipe 1
Barred Owl 1, who cooperated very nicely in the scope.
Red-bellied Woodpecker 2
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers 5
Pileated Woodpecker 2
Northern Flicker 2
Eastern Phoebe 3
