*First Time Recorded
Note: This flora/fauna list is produced by the South Carolina Association of Naturalists, and is subject to revision as needed. Above list produced on 3/4/97.
Note: There are two new dove species listed for this trip. The Eurasian Collared Dove is a known release that has established a colony at Bennett’s Point where these birds were seen and other birds heard. Members familiar with European birds recognized the call of the E. Collared Dove. The field marks of the few birds we saw near-by indicated they were Ringed Turtle doves, especially the general size, color and under-tail pattern (or lack thereof). Since if a dove fancier has released one species, a second is likely, both species are included. The rings on the back of the neck, a more definitive field mark, could not be seen.
