Subject: Wild Birds birds, Columbia
From: Jerrold Griggs <griggs(AT)math.sc.edu>
Date: 10 Nov 2006 9:06am
When I visited the Wild Birds store on Lake Murray Blvd. (Hwy. 60) in the
Columbia/Irmo area, owner Judy Lamb showed me a window-kill bird that
she found recently at the store. It is a "confusing fall warbler".
It appears to be a warbler, with a rich dark olive back and crown, no
wingbars, except for a hint of a white wing patch, and pale buffy breast,
whitish undertail coverts. It is damaged around the eyes, but I think there
is a pale whitish line there. I called it a female Black-throated Blue
Warbler, but hope other experts in the area take a look at it. The olive
color was richer than I realized it could be in this species. The sharp
bill also seems long. It is black, but brown at the base.
Judy is proud to show off photos of a Selasphorous Hummer that visited
the feeder at her Chapin home on Lake Murray for several days last weekend.
It hasn't returned the past few days.
Concerning a bird I reported previously, the female Rose-breasted Grosbeak
that was coming to our house since Oct. 15 was last seen here on Nov. 2.

Steve - sounds like West Pasco is going to be
formidable in future years. Tell your Dad that on
some SC counts we plan to import birding 'ringers'
from out of state and to add to our boat armada :-)
In late October I emailed some SC Christmas Bird Count
info to a couple of Carolina Bird Club folks, but it
has not made its way to the website yet. Since I cc'd
Kent on this email, it will doubtless be on the
website in no time.
Here is info for Charleston and McClellanville:
McClellanville CBC - Sunday December 17, 2006
(always the 1st Sunday of the CBC period)
Compiler: Nathan Dias - offshorebirder(AT)yahoo.com
843-607-0105
Charleston CBC - Sunday December 31, 2006
Compiler: Burton Moore - BEMIII(AT)yahoo.com
843-853-1100
McClellanville is a lot of fun - we are a largely
undeveloped count circle that contains portions of:
private plantations, Francis Marion National Forest,
Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, Santee Coastal
Reserve and Santee Delta WMAs, Tibwin Plantation
(USFS) and more. We have multiple boat parties for
adventurous types and plenty of car-based birding for
laid-back counters.
After the count, we retire to a fun place (Palmetto
Plantation in recent years) for a post-count food
party / oyster roast.

There is still an adult female Ruby-throated
Hummingbird gracing my neighborhood here in coastal
SC.
She is spiffy & bright - very fresh looking plumage.
She has an all-green crown, short primaries of the
proper contour, all indications are an adult female
RTHU and not a Black-chinned.
Nathan Dias - Charleston, SC
PS Had the interesting experience the other day of
seeing a Ruby-throated Hummingbird interacting with a
Golden-crowned Kinglet. Both birds were vocalizing,
as was a nearby Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Small bird's
club to be sure.
Not everyday one sees those birds together...

Mornin' Humnuts,
Just checking on the progress of the final stages
of Ruby-throated migration. Any still around 'up
north'? Yesterday, I banded 4 Ruby-throateds at
Margaret Owens's 'Hummingbird Oasis'. At least 1
additional Ruby-throated was present, but he
seemed to be a 'flower child' and he was not caught.
Among the group was an adult female, very unusual
for so late in the migration.
...
I would be interested to know who still has Ruby-throateds.

Subject: Lower Saluda CBC
From: "Jason Giovannone" <buteo2808(AT)hotmail.com>

This will be the first official year for the Lower Saluda CBC, and it will
be run on saturday the 16th of December. I'm hoping to have parties already
set, so we can just get to it without a big rendezvous that morning. If your
interested in helping out please let me know, and I'll get you paired up
with someone. Feeder watchers are always welcome and will be a huge benefit
to this mostly urban count area. The area is northwest of Columbia
encompassing the Lower Saluda River, about 10 miles of the Broad River,
Harbison State Forest, Riverfront Park, Columbia Metropolitan Airport,
Riverbanks Zoo, Saluda Shoals Park, and a small portion of Lake Murray to
name a few. I would love to have a few people to paddle the Lower Saluda and
Broad River portions to get several areas that are inaccessible without a
boat. Last year we ended up with 97 species with 4 others for the count
week. There will be somewhere (TBD) where everyone can meet up for dinner
and talk about the days events. Good Birding!

The Aiken CBC is December 23. It's always the 24th unless that falls on a
Sunday (as it does this year) then it is on the 23rd.
