    Congrats RH*. Even just 22 species in SC is an un-believeable feat to accomplish. You're one of my heros.

    It's coming. I don't know when but it's coming.

    Thanks but 24 should be fairly doable if I can add an old squaw and a goldeneye. After that I'm looking for tree ducks and lurking on the bird watcher sites for eiders and cinnamon teal...

    Good job.
    The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly.

    Nice work RH. Out of curiousity, what are you still missing from the list. If I were guessing, I'd say:

    Barrow's Goldeneye
    Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
    Cinnamon Teal
    Common Eider
    Common Goldeneye
    Fulvous Whistling-Duck
    Harlequin Duck
    King Eider
    no
    Ruddy Duck

    See below including my belief on how difficult it'll be

    Likely (killed every year somewhere in SC):
    Black-bellied Whistling-Duck - Dendrocygna autumnalis
    Common Goldeneye - Bucephala clangula
    Long-tailed Duck - Clangula hyemalis

    Difficult: (not even reliably seen every year)
    Cinnamon Teal - Anas cyanoptera
    Common Eider - Somateria mollissima
    Common Merganser - Mergus merganser

    Near Impossible: (very rare visitors to SC)
    Barrow's Goldeneye - Bucephala islandica
    Fulvous Whistling-Duck - Dendrocygna bicolor
    King Eider - Somateria spectabilis

    Illegal: (if one ends up in the decoys, I'll take a picture and count it)
    Harlequin Duck - Histrionicus histrionicus

    I might believe that there is a small population of Fulvous Tree Ducks in SC but, unless something changes, that population, if it exists, is very unhuntable.

    If you've got a photo, I'd love to see it.

    I have seen one 5-bird flock of common mergansers just after the Christmas '89 snow storm but not since.

    Nice hunting RH.

    Sorry I killed your tree duck.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
