The Causeway~Huntington Beach State Park

Howdee all,

Huntington Beach State park, SC..

The causeway..

We walked this area several times at low tide..

Plenty of Great and Snowy Egrets

We also saw a few Tri-colored Heron (no photos of them)

I was counting birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count..

This particular morning at low tide the area was hopping with birds..

I didn’t get photos of the peeps, but we did see Black-bellied plover, Dunlin and an assortment of other peeps..see my list at the bottom of this post.

 

  Brown Pelican

Across from the shell beds is a pond..

We saw Ruddy Duck, Grebe, Redhead, Shovelers,and Gadwall.

A nice day birding the park and the causeway....
