MBSP & HBSP on 2-9




Hi Carolinabirders,
	Yesterday, Feb. 9, Gary Phillips, Paul Rogers and I birded most of the
morning and afternoon at Myrtle Beach S.P. and later spent an hour at the
causeway at Huntington Beach S.P.
Both were interesting. Myrtle Beach S.P., first number, had 46 species and
Huntington Beach S.P., second number, had 42.
