During this Time of Covid we are all suffering through, it is great to be able to get outdoors and mingle with the critters and enjoy the places where they call home. There is no place I would rather visit, however, than this always bird productive spot. All said, I think it is my favorite that I’m privileged to visit frequently. I have never been here and been disappointed. All seasons provide excellent birding, with woods birds, wading birds, raptors, shorebirds, and others--all within a 4 square mile area. Being there a couple of weeks ago was one of my few trips away from home since the pandemic started. It is fitting that my last time here in late February was my last trip away from home. So this was a special time for Glyn, my wife and I, to be here. We always enjoy the Park, but we tend to “pig-out” on the excellent seafood in nearby Murrels Inlet. 

A variety of birds were plentiful this trip, including Wood-storks  Tri-colored Herons, terns, ducks, White Ibis, Great Egrets, Black-backed Night Herons, Anhinga, and my favorite water bird, the Roseate Spoonbill. They are normally here in the fall and this is about their northernmost limit as they are usually found in Florida and further south. There were some migrating warblers, but  I did not get pics of them because the trees all still had their leaves and getting a shot was virtually impossible. The large birds are much easier to photograph and I got many pics. See below.
