Birdwatching in South Carolina Birding contacts and birdwatching information Local Birdingpal Contacts Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

P Voelker Lexington Anytime English/some Spanishsome American Sign Language Lexington is in the Midlands of South Carolina near several good birding sites including Congaree Swamp National Park where the search for the Ivory-bill still takes place; Saluda Shoals Park with a varied habitat included river, mixed woods and open meadow; Lynches Woods which is a 4 mile loop one can walk and feel you're in the Upcountry with heavy woods, small creeks, undulating land; and easy drives to Carolina Sandhills to see the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker and Bachman Sparrow or to Audubon's Beidler Forest. Whatever your level of birding, I'd enjoy showing you some of the variety available from 15 minutes away to two hours east to the coast or west to the mountains.
