Hi y'all,
Things didn't look too promising this morning when Ritch Lilly picked me
up for our NAMC effort here in the Independent Republic of Horry. At 7:30,
we still hadn't seen a bird! (heard a cpl, but hadn't seen any) Overcast and
constant 15 - 20 mph winds made "looking up" a pain in an area somewhat
farther south than the neck. Anyways, we ended up with ~70 spp. from
Punchpole Landing, Bucksport sod farm, Conway sewage ponds, New Rd. and my
yard. The "best birds" were:
White-rumped Sandpiper - 1 (Conway sewage ponds)
Yellow Warbler - 1 (Punchpole Landing)
Magnolia W. - 4 (3@Punchpole, 1@New Rd.)
Blackburnian W. - 1 (Punchpole)
N. Waterthrush - 3 (New Rd.)
(10 warbler spp. for the day)
Cool birds, cool company, cool day.
Odyssey update: 255 (all in 4 counties in the SC coastal plain. i really
need to expand my range...or do i?)
Cheers,
gary
