Glyn and I visited Huntington Beach State ParkHUNTINGTON BEACH STATE PARK/BROOKGREEN GARDENS, S.C. near Murrells Inlet, SC last week. I was glad as always to return to this favorite birding site. There is not a “bad” time to be here in terms of seeing a good variety of species, including the beautiful Painted Bunting,which was abundantly present on this visit. There were also many heron species as well as Wood Storks and Egrets. I had hoped to see Roseate Spoonbills, but they usually don’t arrive here until late summer. My time was short on this trip, so I did not get to visit some of the trails or the swamp breeding area where I am sure I might have seen baby and adolescent herons and egrets, and I did not get to the beach areas.
We enjoyed our trip and Glyn located a new restaurant, J. Peters, which turned out to be a real winner--be sure to try their prime rib!! You cannot go wrong in visiting this site any time of year if you are a birder!! See pictures below from this visit.
