Hi Carolinabirders,
Today, I birded from 10:40AM until 2PM. It was a partly sunny day with
temps in the upper 80's gentle east winds and a short period of showers
just as I was leaving. I birded the north end and the beginning of
Sandpiper Trail near the Education Center. The north beach area was as
crowded with people mostly sunbathers as I have ever seen. Rather
disturbing were the personal watercraft south of the jetty. Two even
set up on the beach. 35 birds.
