Columbia Audubon Bear Island trip



The Columbia Audubon Society has its annual trip to Bear Island Wildlife
Management Area, Colleton County, SC on Saturday, 8 Feb 2003. Here is the
list of bird species observed by the leaders of that trip, Steve Dennis and
Julie Wilking. This list does not include any species from nearby Donnelley
WMA. (The Charleston Natural History Society trip. also on 8 Feb, visited
Donnelley as well as Bear Island, since Charleston is a lot closer to the
ACE Basin than Columbia is.) It was a good day to look for big, white birds.
