Brown-headed nuthatches, red-cockaded woodpeckers, Bachman sparrows, and other birds typical of these habitats were quite numerous.
The next two weeks were spent in Olanta working along the Lynch^[[s]] River, one of the slow moving tributaries of the Pee Dee River. The final area centered around McClellanville in Charleston County where we had an excellent stay, collection in the salt marshes near Cape Romain Wildlife Sanctuary. Sharp-tailed and seaside sparrows, rails, and boat-tailed grackles were seen in great numbers. In the interior we worked in the Francis Marion National Forest which has an excellent growth of pine and scrub oak. The red-cockaded woodpeckers was more abundant here than any area investigated. Equally abundant were wild turkeys which are said to be descendants of the original wild strain native to this area. December 1 brought the survey to a close and we returned to Washington December 2.
