HBSP on 11-6



Hi Carolinabirders,
Today, I met Dave Gustafson at Huntington Beach S.P., Murrells Inlet,
Georgetown County, SC for a morning and early afternoon of birding.  It
was a dreary overcast day with some strong north winds along the beach.
After looks into Mullet Pond we birded the north end including the north
end of Sandpiper Pond.  We, of course, birded the jetty and jetty pond.
