2023 Birding Journal Observations - January / February

Tundra swans and shorebirds at Bear Island on Jan. 28
Dry weather in the Fall gave way to a wet January and February, and besides one serious cold snap, a fairly mild winter embraced the Lowcountry. Goldfinches were few and far between, but pine warblers were seen in good numbers. Brown-headed nuthatches continue a regular presence on the landscape, and robins were seen in strong numbers. Yellow-rumped warblers and red-winged balckbirds were likely the most common birds sighted this winter. Waterfowl migration was pretty average, with ringnecks still showing up in surprising numbers. Some woodcock were reported in places, and lots of raptors were seen.
