Descrizione
Conestee Nature Preserve is a 400-acre (160 ha) preserve along three miles of the Reedy River in Conestee. The Preserve contains both hardwood and evergreen forest, extensive wetlands, and a rich diversity of birds. At least 223 bird species have been reported, and the National Audubon Society has designated the park as an Important Bird Area of Global Significance.
Some common birds of South Carolina you may catch a glimpse of at Lake Conestee Nature Preserve include Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinals, Chipping Sparrows, Blue Jay, Red Bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, Brown Headed Nuthatch, Red Shouldered Hawk, Red tailed Hawk, Mourning Dove and American Robin.
The lake and river are good places for several resident waterfowl species as well as for wintering ducks and migrating shorebirds (Yellowlegs, Least, Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers, Wilson's Snipe). American Bitterns have been observed between January and May. In the winter several sparrow species (including Field, Swamp, White-throated, Song, and Fox Sparrow) have been seen, particularly along the wetland edges. More than 30 warbler species have been reported. In spring and summer the preserve is especially good for observing Prothonotary Warbler.
Conestee also provides critical habitat for the Rusty Blackbird, who spend their time in warmer months in northern forests before flying south in the fall. In winter up to ninety Rusty Blackbirds have been counted in Conestee Nature Preserve.
