Santee Coastal Reserve



	
Hi Carolinabirders,
	Yesterday, Oct.1 Gary Phillips, Charlie Heacock and I sojurned to the
Santee Coastal Reserve, northern Charleston County, SC.  No shorebirds were
seen perhaps because the ponds were very high. Interesting were the Yellow
and Orange-crowned Warblers on the dikes feeding on insects in the
groundsel trees.  Lots of critters seen including 8 species of butterfly,
bobcat, otter, gators and of course any number of species of mosquito. Gary
Phillips did the tree and wildflower id's.
