WELCOMING BACK AN OLD FRIEND

By Norman Brunswig
Ivory-bill. To a person who has roamed southern swamps, watching
birds and botanizing for fun and business, the mere mention of the name
makes my skin tingle.
Thinking about the re-discovery of this giant woodpecker causes my
mind to race. The great birds were last viewed in the Santee Swamp in
the 1930’s. If they are still in Arkansas, where else might they be?
Could they be in South Carolina’s swamps? Four Holes? Santee?
Congaree?
Could they really still be here? Have we overlooked them, as they were
overlooked in Arkansas? These questions tease my mind, titillate my
imagination and sometimes disturb my sleep.
Other thoughts emerge, such as what are the implications of this for con-
servation? Immediately I wonder how much swamp would be required
to sustain a population of these recovering birds, and how old must the
forest be. Is Beidler Forest big enough and old enough now? If not,
then how big and how old? Where might we find or create potential
Ivory-billed habitat in our state?
Should we be creating a set of large, mature, swamp preserves? We
know that if we did they would support huge populations of nesting and
migrating songbirds (many of which are suffering persistent population Ivory-billed Woodpecker by Thomas Bennett. This and other
declines). Might they support Ivory-billed Woodpeckers? works featuring endangered and extinct bird species can be

And how should this back-from-extinction event inspire our protection of
South Carolina’s existing great swamps? Does it not make the proposed
bridge across Upper Santee Swamp more risky than it was the day be-
fore the bird was found? What if they are in there or could be restored? The mission of Audubon South

AN OLD FRIEND (continued from page 1)

And what of other birds we think are gone? In the 1970s I joined Dr. Paul B. Hamel on his search for the Bachman’s War-
bler. He searched many states where the bird was last seen. I helped him in Beidler Forest and what is now Congaree Na-
tional Park. We neither saw nor heard one sing. When I read Dr. Hamel’s final report on the search I was left with the dis-
couraging feeling that the Bachman’s also was gone. But is it? If we could miss a large and noisy bird like the Ivory-billed
Woodpecker, could we not miss a diminutive songbird? Maybe! Isn’t hope, in part, why we love bird-watching so much?
I believe there must be more Ivory-bills in Arkansas. I think there must be a viable population. There is no other way the
species could have hung on since the last ones were seen in the 1940s. I hope the population can be expanded, and that it
can be re-established in South Carolina and other parts of its range. Even though bottomland forests are again being heav-
ily logged, many are also being permanently protected. Are there enough? I would like to think that finding the Ivory-billed
Woodpecker will inspire us to redouble our efforts to build and protect even more giant swamp preserves.
Audubon South Carolina and its many conservation partners certainly will in Four Holes Swamp. This year we plan to add
significant acreage to Beidler Forest. Finding the Ivory-bill is a wonderful ornithological reality. It is also a powerful source of
inspiration and a call to action. Let us protect our great swamp parks and preserves, and look for ways to make them even
bigger and more complete. Who knows, Ivory-billed Woodpeckers may one day come calling.

‘I wish it were in my power to present to your mind’s eye the favorite resort of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Would
that I could describe the extent of those deep morasses, overshadowed by millions of gigantic dark cypresses...
extending for miles…. Would that I could represent to you the dangerous nature of the ground, its oozy, spongy
and miry disposition, although covered with a beautiful but treacherous carpeting...of the richest mosses, flags and
water-lilies….’

AUDUBON MONTH HONORS

CHARLESTON CONNECTION
In April, Mayor Joseph P. Riley issued a proclamation declar-
ing “National Audubon Month” for the City of Charleston. The
Proclamation, issued in recognition of the Audubon Society’s
Centennial Anniversary, commended Audubon South Caro-
lina and the local Chapter, the Charleston Natural History So-
ciety, for their years of conservation work within the Charles-
ton area. The Proclamation also recognized the long con-
nection between the Audubon Society and the City.
Rutledge Avenue in downtown Charleston. Sadly, the home
was demolished in the 1920’s.
Many of Audubon’s works from that period prominently fea-
tured Charleston’s surrounding plantations and natural areas.
Audubon’s Long-billed Curlew depicts the City of Charleston
as part of the background with Castle Pinckney (a Charles-
ton Harbor landmark) to the left. Audubon described seeing
several thousand Curlews congregate each night at their rest-
ing places near the City.

During the 1830’s John James Audubon, artist, naturalist and
namesake of the Society, made Charleston his second home.
Much of his time was spent lodging with his friend, the minis-
ter-naturalist John Bachman. Many of Audubon’s paintings
during that period were completed at Bachman’s home on
Today, Curlews are an Audubon WatchList species and one
of the most threatened shorebird species in North America,
with a population of less than 20,000, further highlighting the
continued need for Audubon’s presence and dedication to-
wards preserving and restoring South Carolina’ s native birds.

Audubon members and other volunteers,

are helping demonstrate the importance of
vegetative buffers in coastal communities.
The project is the creation of a ‘critical line’
buffer in Brittlebank Park on the Ashley
River. The "critical line" marks off coastal
areas that cannot be developed due to the
fragile coastal environment.
Vegetated buffers absorb runoff and pollut-
ants and provide critical habitat in urban
areas. Organizers hope to demonstrate
what a buffer is composed of and how buff-
ers help protect water quality. The project
is modeled after Charleston’s municipal
buffer ordinance and will help homeowners
and developers understand what the re-
quirements are for waterfront properties.

On Thursday we had a great day of birding at the Francis

Beidler Forest. We make the trip each year at this time hop-
ing to get a glimpse of the Prothonotary Warblers before we
head back to our home in New York State.
It was quiet along the boardwalk for the first hour. We
stopped at the intersection of the main boardwalk and the
boardwalk leading to the lake and all of a sudden they landed
in a tree about twenty feet above the water. There were five

one female. They gave us great views as they recovered from
what must have been a long flight. What a glorious sight and
not one soon to be repeated.
In two hours we saw or heard 21 different species but the ar-
rival of the Prothonotary Warblers will long be remembered
by us. Our thanks to everyone at Beidler for the wonderful
work you do.

Excerpt from School Report of Eli Ormsby

The entire ecosystem has an important part to
play in the survival of the surrounding commu-
nities. Not only does it filter water, but it
also supplies oxygen to the atmosphere. These
benefits are so vital to the survival and very
existence of life in and around the swamp. It
is very important that we keep it clean and
beautiful for future generations.

 IMPORTANT BIRD AREAS

FEATURED IBA OF THE QUARTER

UNITED STATES ARMY TRAINING CENTER
FORT JACKSON, COLUMBIA, SC
Ft. Jackson is located near Columbia and is home to one of South
Carolina’s most intact Longleaf Pine systems. Currently, Ft. Jackson
supports thirty Red-cockaded Woodpecker colonies and provides
habitat for nine WatchList species, including Bachman’s Sparrow
and Brown-headed Nuthatch.

Department of Defense (DoD) lands are often overlooked as valu-

able habitat for birds. The DoD is one of the largest federal land
managers in the United States, with approximately 25 million acres
under its control. These lands usually have very limited public ac-
cess and are often good examples of large, intact native habitats,
such as Ft. Jackson’s Longleaf Pine system.
Many species depend on DoD lands as critical migratory and nest-
ing habitat. Over the past 25 years the DoD has invested increased
time and money in managing its natural resources. Today, the DoD
maintains partnerships with over 300 federal, state and non-
governmental organizations aimed at bird conservation. Through
these partnerships, the DoD actively manages its natural resources
to support mission needs, while pursuing a conservation ethic that
strives to benefit bird species.

 AUDUBON ADVOCACY

LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP 2005

The legislative session for 2005 ended in early June, with a fairly successful year for conservation overall. Here’s a brief re-
view of the year.
SUCCESSES
Conservation Bank: The Conservation Bank was fully funded again this year at around $15 million. One attempt was made
by Rep. Billy Witherspoon and Rep. Brian White to divert funds from the Bank early in the budget process but failed after be-
ing defeated by a vote of 81-28.
Environmental Grand Jury: South Carolina now has the power to investigate and prosecute environmental crimes, instead
of relying on federal authorities to do so. The leadership of Attorney General Henry McMaster, Senator Jake Knotts and
Representative Jim Merrill was crucial in finally passing a bill that empowers the State Grand Jury to address environmental
crimes with anticipated financial damages of $2 million.
Trust Funds: South Carolina restored $26 million in diverted dollars to various environmental trust funds.
DISAPPOINTMENTS
Isolated Wetlands: For five years, South Carolina’s isolated wetlands have been without federal or state protection. At-
tempts at compromise legislation to establish state-level regulation between development interests and the conservation
community stalled late in the session. To date, South Carolina’s Carolina Bays, Mountain Bogs and similar critical habitats
remain vulnerable to development, despite their role in providing clean water and habitat.
