HUNTINGTON BEACH STATE PARK IN JAN.

1/26/2018

Early this week, I had a chance to visit Pawleys Island, S.C. with Glyn. This is one of our favorite spots to visit for a variety of reasons. This is a summer beach destination that she visited many times in her teen years and holds many memories for her. For me, Huntington Beach State Park  Is just a few miles up the road and is one of my favorite birding locations. I was able to spend a few hours each day trying to get a few pictures of the  birds that are hanging out there in mid-winter. The beauty of this site is the diversity of habitat that supports a large variety of bird types, including hardwood/pine forest, freshwater ponds, beachfront, tidal marsh, along with a mile long jetty that extends into the Atlantic. The jetty provides access to many seabirds and sea ducks.The jetty was the only site I did not get to on this visit. For more description of these habitats click on the orange link above.

The pictures below are a good representation of typical residents here in mid-winter. Of particular interest were a Mute Swan, Common Goldeneye, Green-wing Teal, Common Moorhen, along with Cedar Waxwing, Snowy and Great Egrets, Lessor Yellowlegs, Bufflehead, and a Bonaparte Gull. If you have not visited this site, you should get it on your agenda. You will meet many fellow birders here year round. Enjoy the pics below.
