Myrtle Beach State Park Birding (9/23/03)



Hey Carolina Birders,

I birded Myrtle Beach State Park earlier today.  I eventually met up with
Jack Peachey there and we spent some time birding together.  There was
intermittent rain at the park most of the morning.  Birding seemed extremely
slow but a total of 50 species were located.  (Jack may have a bird or two
to add that he saw before we met.)  Those species that I had included the
following:

Brown Pelican
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Great Egret
Tricolored Heron
