I was able to bird a bit today in the northern portion of Charleston County,
SC. Specifically, I checked South Tibwin briefly and spent the remainder of
the time at Santee Coastal Reserve (SCR). I'd hoped there might be some
waterfowl at SCR but could only find Wood Ducks there. Additionally, no
shorebirds were found at SCR either as the water level in all of the
impoundments was extremely high. In all, seventy-two species were seen.

Pied-billed Grebe SCR, ST
