FIELD TRIP TO CYPRESS PRESERVE was a great success
Waccamaw Audubon was joined by USFWS bird biologist Craig Watson on Sunday, May 9 (which happened to be International Migratory Bird Day) for a bird walk at Cypress Preserve is a new privately-owned nature preserve located on the South Carolina Black Scenic River. Our party spent about 4 hours wandering through the trails of the preserve and observed fifty species (a few folks added Swallowtail Kites for 51 species). Craig pointed out many species which were first identified by their calls, then was able to visually locate making this trip a wonderful learning experience for novice as well as more experienced birders.
