Do you have the appropriate backyard birdfeeder to attrack the rare yellow bellied sapsucker?

These are some of the most colorful and strange birds you will see from South Carolina coasts to urban city area.

The song of the Cardinal is o beautiful it is almost enchanting. Get the appropraite home for it at the Purple Rooster.

The Pelican is a very bold creature, he will come quite close to you if you have fish. He will hardly take his eyes off you, being quite comic in his moves,he will amuse you for sure.

On to more of the species you will see in the South. The large birds along the coast seem to be very colorful.

The Great blue Heron seen up and down the east coast, the Green Back Heron, a much shorter legged variety.

These birds spend their time in marshes and coastal inlets looking for food. The smaller species, Sandlings, Terns and Gulls tend to stay closer to the open bodies of water. Roaming about the shore at low tide to grab whatever creatures aren’t quick enough to make
it back to the sea on the outgoing tides.

As you walk along the South Carolina shore line this fall it seems there are many differenet kinds of sand birds Plovers, pipers and terns.

They stay in large groups poking thier long thin bills into whelk and clam holes in the sand. I noticed that they stand on one leg and hop most of the time.

They rage in size from a few inches in height to about a foot. It is so odd to see he Gulls do a “tap dance” in one spot trying to stir up the soft sand so to eat small sea creatures that are buried in the sand. The beaches are a playground for the birds.

Sincerely,

From your friends in Lancaster, South Carolina, Purple Rooster.
