New Road and Conway Sewage Treatment Plant



Hi C birders,
This morning I birded along New Road and at the Conway Sewage Treatment
Plant which are located near Conway, Horry County, SC.  Started about
9AM and ended about noon and birded under overcast skies and rather
windy conditions.  Was looking for returning parula, yellow-throated,
and blue-grays.  Found only one of these.  Nonetheless a nice birding

nice streaking of an alternate plumaged bird but most were still looking
like basic plumaged birds.
