Title: S.C. Co. Bird List November

Well, keeping track of the updates for the composite list for November is easy--we had only one addition--a 6.  An EASTERN PHOEBE was a 20-minute wonder at the Oka percolation ponds on 18 Nov.  So this brings the composite list to 282.  All year we had been limping along about a bird or two below the 5-year average, and then October was such a great month with 9 new species rather than the expected 4.  But November and December were supposed to bring us 3 new birds each, but November crumped out, with only 1, sigh.  Getting ahead of myself, December has already produced two new birds, but that still makes us 3 birds shy of what we usually find in November and December.  The good news is that 282 is right at the 5-year average, so this is a better-than-average year already.  (But as I slowly start getting prior year data into my spreadsheet, things will not look quite so rosy, as the 90s provided at least three years over 300!  We ain't gonna see 300 this year.)
