Re: Green Heron



Dear retail shopping birders,

Yes, that's right. Recent Wal-Mart birds here in Summerville,SC in the
coastal plain include
Stork and Mississippi Kite. Of course, Least
Terns nest on the roofs of some big stores down here
and Nighthawks are easy to find at dusk over the parking lots. About 10
years ago I had a Upland Sandpiper
in the grass after a rain at Citadel Mall in Charleson,SC.
