Berkeley County



Hi C-birders,
This morning the GSBG (Grand Strand Birding Group-No rules but your own, No 
dues, No officers, No voting, Opt in-Opt out) made a sojourn to Berkeley 
County as Jack wanted to start a Berkeley County list. Other birders were 
Ritch Lilly and Paul Rogers. We basically followed the itinerary outlined 
in Robin Carter's book, "Finding Birds in South Carolina". We gotta go back 
to Old Santee Canal S.P, It should be great during migration. 63 total 
birds were seen. Most interesting were the Common Loon, Horned Grebe which 
was in with Scaup, and Greater Yellowlegs at Cainhoy. Snow Goose (blue 
phase) fly-bys at Santee Canal S.P. Red-cockaded Woodpeckers,
Hermit Thrush, and a Blue-headed Vireo along forest road 583. Wish we could 
have seen that bird doing the "tick, tick" call, probably Winter Wren, the 
habitat was right.

Good company, good birding.
