2023 Birding Journal Observations - November / December

Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker

After New Year's Day spent with Family, a full day in the field at the Edisto Christmas Bird Count ensues on January 2 to kick off the 2024 Birding campaign! The weather in November 2023 was mild, but some strong waterfowl migration was observed with concentrations that month along the Combahee River Flyway. 

December brought the first freeze of winter to the Lowcountry and pine warblers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers and towhees became frequent at the feeders again after a summer leave of absence. More waterfowl were counted during the Palmetto Bluff Bird Count.
