Fw: Waterfowl at Dreher Island S.P. in Newberry Co., SC-11/6/02

I apologize to all, the date in the subject line should be the 7th, not the
6th.  Also today I saw a Field Sparrow with an all-white tail and rump.  My
heart almost lept from my chest because with all the white the first thing I
thought was SNOW BUNTING!  But nope, just a Field Sparrow with a white
fanny.
