Gannets.

At Sunset Beach 30 White Ibis,  Loggerhead Shrike

Gary Phillips offered to guide us on a walk to Santee Wildlife Refuge on
3/9, so we left early and arrived about 9:30.  By 10: we had located the
Red Cockaded Woodpecker, a first for grandson Joe, and a long look with
scope of a Bachman's Sparrow.  It sang while we watched it.  Joe had
heard the Sparrow with Jack P. several years ago but this day we saw it. 
Brown-headed Nuthatch.
	A walk to the pond yielded Yellow Throats, Parula warblers, Bald Eagle,
Anhinga, Wood Duck and an American Bittern that walked across the trail
in front of the group twice.

	At the Santee Delta the movements of Anhingas indicated they were
nesting.  White Ibis 30, Wood Stork, N. Harrier GC Cormorant and Marsh
Wren.
