I'd be grateful for any advice on places to bird in South Carolina at this time of year.
I'm not sure of what might be seen there as opposed to Florida in mid June.
Any thoughts gratefully received.

Hi Trevor,

Here's a link that maybe useful: checklists for SC Sites. I would try contacting Carolina Birds - you're probably going to get some more useful advice there than on BF. Also may be worth having a flick through the American Bird Conservancy guide to the top 500 US birding sites.

Thanks, Luke, hadn't found that on a trawl through a few 'Googles'.

It'll only be a brief visit next week, so it was only a tentative enquiry for some local knowledge.

Hi Trevor,

Yep it's a pretty useful site that I stumbled upon - here's the link page for the whole USA. Hope you have fun up in the Carolinas be interested to hear how you get on.

A site with some good information is the one by the Columbia, SC, Audubon Society:

At this time of the year, to get some birding a bit different from Florida I would to to the northwestern part of SC where the Apalachian mountain chain penetrates the state, places like Jones Gap State Park etc. Along the coast it is going to be somewhat similar to Florida.

Thanks a lot, Dalcio, there's some interesting information on that website.
I think you're right about prospects along the coast.

Hey Trevor.

Here is a link of some of the birding spots I put together for SC in the Forum a couple of years ago.
