Folly Beach, SC 13 Sept.



Donna and I led a birding trip for the Charleston Chapter of Sigma Xi 13 Sept
AM. We started at the mud flats by the defunct Crawdaddys Restaurant on Folly
Rd then went to the Fishing Pier on Folly Beach and ended up at the old Coast
Guard Station.  A modest number of migrant and resident species, nice weather
and pleasant company.
