Hi Carolinabirders,
Yesterday, August 5, with short notice I was able to go headboat birding
out of Murrells Inlet, Georgetown County, SC on the Capt. Bill III out of
Cart. Dick's Marina. As usaual August is slow. I almost got skunked.
Other than some Royal Terns and Laughing Gulls seen less than 15 miles out,
the only birds 50 miles out were: a dark mantled tern that was either a
Bridled or Sooty. This bird circled the boat from a distance and I
couldn't get a good enough handle to eliminate one of them. The other
birds out there were swallows. 1 then 2 then another single. These birds
were Rough-winged Swallows.
