ghost birds: Santee Bottoms












Searching the Santee Bottoms:

“Most of the swamp was about ankle-deep,” Tanner wrote. “The deepest creek I waded was half-way up my thighs. None of the deeper creeks were long. Here and there were low and small ridges, carrying sweet gum, a little laurel oak, etc. Bird life was scarce.”
