Palmetto Pintails:
Pintails in Space
F
or lhe past two seasons, tlOlthern pj nta ils were
trapped at several locations aero s South Carolina and fitted with satell ite tran mitters that will
track their movements for a year.
Northern pintails, once one ofthe most common
waterfowl species in North America, have declined over
the last 30 years. Currently, breeding populations remain below their long-term averages, and the goals
established by the North American Waterfowl Management Plan.
Pintails nest primarily on the prairies of the north~cntral United States and Canada. While populations
always fluctuate with the drought cycle of the prairies,
the species did not respond to favorable nesting conditions during the last wet period. Almost all other prai-
rie-nesting waterfowl species rebounded to average or
above average numbers, some to record levels.
Major wintering pintail areas are the Central Valley
of California, and the coasts of Mexico, Louisiana and
Texas. A smaller population exists in the Atlantic
flyway, with a large percentage of the birds wintering in
South Carolina.
The backpack transmitters used on northern pintail hens
weigh 20 grams, less than 3% of the total body mass.
Jay DeLoach ofAshepoo Plantation prepares to release a
male northern pintail after banding.
Why northern pintails populations have not increased remains an enigma. Biologists need to more
fully understand pintail population dynamics to determine the limiting factors.
Migration corridors and identification of breeding
areas especially with regards to the birds wintering in
the Atlantic flyway are poorly understood. The telemetry project seeks to determine migration chronology
and important staging areas, migration routes, and
breeding areas of female pintails wintering in the southern portion of the Atlantic flyway.
The back-pack style satellite transmitters weigh
about 20 grams, less than 3% of the bird's body mass.
The transmitters send a signal every 65 seconds for
eight hours every six days.
After each cycle, the eight-hour period is shifted
forward to the next period, conserving power through
--+
+spring migration, breeding, and subsequent fall migration.
NOAA weather satellites pick up the signal and
estimate locations from a Doppler shift as the satellite
approaches and orbits away from the transmitter.
Four good signals from a transmitter during a satellite pass obtain accuracy within about a half-mile. Data
is sent electronically to the USGS-Cooperative, Fish and
Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University where it is
processed and forwarded to the DNR at Santee Coastal
Reserve for mapping.
In 2003, ten female northern pintails were captured
and fitted with transmitters. Two birds were captured at
Two Rivers farm near Columbia, three at Santee National Wildlife Refuge near Summerton, and four at
Santee Coastal Reserve near McClellanville.
Six birds were successfully tracked leaving South
Carolina and their migration routes documented. Two
birds headed north along the East Coast. One stopped
near Deleware Bay, and was later lost in northern New
York. The other bird left Santee Coastal Reserve, spent
several weeks at Pea Island NWR in North Carolina,
and then hop scotched to Northern Quebec via Deleware
Bay and James Bay. This bird was lost at Southern
James Bay during its fall migration.
Of the four pintails that migrated to the west, many
staged in Ohio, before later stopping in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. One bird skipped the Prairies, and continued northward through Saskatchewan before being lost
in June in Nunavut. After stopping in the prairie region,
two other birds migrated to the southwest coast of
Hudson Bay before being lost.
The most remarkable bird made a round-trip from
Santee Coastal Reserve. She passed through Ohio and
Minnesota before settling in North Dakota for the summer, probably nesting. Afterwards, she briefly moved to
Manitoba, and then molted on the southwestern shore of
Hudson Bay. During her fall migration, she passed
through James Bay, spent several weeks on the Lake
Erie marshes of northern Ohio, before arriving back at
Santee Coastal Reserve shortly before Christmas. Her
travels reinforce the theory of "site fidelity" often
discussed by waterfowl biologists.
In 2004, eight hen pintails were outfitted with satellite transmitters. Six birds were captured at the Santee
National Wildlife Refuge and one each at Santee
Coastal Reserve and Fenwick Island in the ACE Basin.
In addition six female mallards were outfitted with
transmitters, two each at Santee Delta WMA, Santee
NWR and Two Rivers Farms. As of early April the ACE
Basin pintail was located in Indiana. The other birds
were scattered across the Great Lakes and Midwest. The
accompanying map shows their locations as of April 12,
2004.

Protection Update
Dovefield Plantation Swamp
M
r. and Mrs. Randy White have granted an
easement to the Nature Conservancy on
Dovefield Plantation Swamp consisting of231
acres approximately two miles west of Walterboro.
The property's Great Swamp watershed includes
Doctor's Creek, Ireland Creek, and Ivanhoe Creek.
These creeks form the headwaters of the Ashepoo River,
one of the three rivers that comprise the ACE Basin.
Dovefield Plantation Swamp is bordered to the
north by property owned by the White's and protected
by a conservation easement with TNC. The White's
upland tract forms the eastern border, Great Swamp is '
the western border, and a private tract lies along the
southern border.
-.
e~------------------------------
.- The bottomland hardwood forest has been subjected
to intensive timber harvesting but has regenerated with a
suitable species mix for wildlife and aesthetics.
:opper Station Plantation
Copper Station Holding LLC has placed an easement with the Nature Conservancy on Copper Station
Plantation, a 587.7-acre property in Colleton County
bordered by Highway 21 to the northeast and the
Combahee River to the southeast. Black Creek forms
the northern boundary and a private tract lies to the
south.
Copper Station Plantation has a diversity of soil
types, topography, and vegetative communities. Most
high quality hardwood and pine timber had been harvested by prior owners.
Within a year's time the current owner has enhanced the natural integrity of the property and plans to
continue the process by completing a 16-acre lake and
numerous wildlife openings.
The variety of forest types ranging from bottomland
hardwoods, to mixed pine/hardwoods, and to pine plantations on bottomland and upland sites combined with
wildlife openings and an extensive pond system provide
optimum habitat conditions for white-tailed deer, wild
turkeys, resident and migrating song birds, raptors,
ading birds, and waterfowl, particularly wood ducks.
J{eptiles and amphibians are abundant.
Habitat management on the property will be designed to protect the quality of water entering the
Combahee River and will be critical to maintaining
optimum habitat conditions for the numerous fish species that inhabit the Combahee River.
Lowcountry Open Land Trust
The Lowcountry Open Land Trust has placed a
donated conservation easement on 794 acres along the
Ashepoo River within the ACE Basin Focus Area. The
conservation easement will ensure the protection of the
natural, forested and riverine nature of the property.
The tract is valuable to the ACE Basin for its various wildlife habitat types including large natural tracts
of bottomland hardwood forest, freshwater wetlands,
natural and planted pine forests, mixed hardwoods,
freshwater ponds, and open fields.
These features will be protected and allowed to
exist in a relatively natural state within conservation
areas and buffer zones and managed under agricultural
and forest management restrictions. The habitats are
further protected through the close proximity to other
protected properties, allowing for unrestricted movement of various wildlife species.
The tract also has significant water quality values
derived from the natural wetlands adjacent to Ashepoo
River and Beef Creek. These conservation values will
be preserved through limitations of impervious surface
to one-half of one percent of total surface area and
protection of the wetlands through waterfront buffers
and interior conservation areas.
This property adds significant acreage to the protected properties within the ACE Basin Focus Area and
The Lowcountry Open Land Trust is proud to have a
conservation easement on this property and under protection into perpetuity. This property brings the number
of acres protected by the Lowcountry Open Land Trust
within the ACE Basin Focus Area to 10,598 acres. J!!!e

The Edisto Island pen Land Trust got its start
in 1994 when a group of residents realized that the
scenic beauty and rural character of the island could be
lost forever without a focused effort. Ten years later the

membership of about 600 households and protects more
than 400 acres of island highland and marsh.
Approximately half of this property adjoins scenic
Highway 174, the main thoroughfare through the island
and for the past few years the Trust has worked to protect the scenic vistas and property on Highway 174.
. To create and preserve a green/natural buffer along
HIghway 174 and to discourage commercialization and
preserve the ancient live oak canopy that lines much of
the road and the large expanses of creek and marsh
vistas the Trust has developed a strategic plan with
specific goals.
Executive Director ofthe Trust, Marian D.
Brailsford describes how the organization is working
toward those goals:
"We are cultivating land gifts, purchases, and conservation easements on 174 buffer property. Our most
recent acquisition was a Christmas gift of seven acres of
highland and marsh along 174, which is covered with
maritime forest including magnolias and live oaks.
"Our Live Oak Legacy project involves planting live
oak trees along both sides of Highway 174 to replace the
historic trees which have been lost over the years. Our
membership has enthusiastically embraced this memorial program as a lasting way to honor loved ones, and
35 trees will be planted in Phase 1.
. "W~ also have applied for federal funds for developmg a Highway 174 Corridor Management Plan to help
us achieve the National Scenic Byway designation. This
could provide insurance against future widening of 174
and remove the threat of unsightly over-commercialization.
"We believe that our Highway 174 conservation
work sets the tone for the future of Edisto Island, as a
place of unspoiled beauty and rural charm. In order to
protect all of the remaining 25,000 (or so) undeveloped

Poplar Grove and the
ACE Basin
have read with great interest recent articles in
which Dorchester County Council Chair Randy
Scott explained the county's support for the Poplar
Grove project.
The points he made remind me of the debate in
Colleton County at the beginning of the Ashepoo/
Combahee/Edisto (ACE) Basin conservation initiative.
Launched in 1987, The ACE partnership has permanently protected more than 160,000 acres of wildlife
habitat, a significant portion of which is located in
Colleton County. The ACE initiative is widely regarded as a model for conservation efforts nationwide.
In 1987, though, there was much concern about the
economic impacts land conservation would have on
Colleton County. Many wondered if conservation of
large properties would reduce the tax base and cause the
county to stagnate economically.
Land conservation ensures that valuable rural lands
both public and private, will continue to be used for
'
hunting, fishing, timber harvesting and farming. The
ACE has helped maintain a diverse economic base in
the county as it supplies forest products for processing
throughout the region.
The ACE is becoming an important tourist destination, representing what The Nature Conservancy calls
one of "The Last Great Places" in North America. It is
a source of pride to ACE landowners that the ACE will
continue to support tourism and forestry, two of the
most important sectors of South Carolina' economy.
The protected lands in the ACE Basin require very
few services and virtually no infrastructure from the
county, and therefore these undeveloped propeIiies
produce a net financial gain for the county treasury.
Poplar Grove plans to construct 3,500 houses on \
4,400 acres in an area with as little development as any

+place in the Lowcountry. As in the ACE, the area surrounding Poplar Grove has been used for centuries for
forestry, recreation, and in the early part of the 1900s,
phosphate mining.
If the Poplar Grove project goes forward, it will
permanently remove this large acreage from timber
production, and will disrupt traditional uses on the
surrounding parcels. Suburban subdivisions cannot long
exist in conjunction with hunting and forestry, and it is
the latter activities that will have to give way.
Unfortunately, The Dorchester County Council has
paid no attention to the county residents living in the
vicinity of Poplar Grove, a number of whom derive their
livings from traditional land uses like farming, hunting
and forestry.
Dorchester County and its leaders could benefit
from the example of the ACE Basin: conserving traditional uses of forestry, hunting, recreation and tourism
in rural areas while promoting responsible residential
and commercial growth is the area within or immediately surrounding urban development.
This is the win/win legacy of the ACE Basin Initiative.

F
or the eighth straight year lOp artist from the
Southeastern Wildlife xpo held a one-day seminar at Donnelley WMA for the winners in the
state's Junior Duck Stamp Contest sponsored by the
DNR.
This year, regularly participating artists, Joe Garcia
from California, Adele Earnshaw of Arizona and
Stephen Koury of Florida were joined by the Expo's
featured artist, John Seery-Lester, also of Florida.
These well known and highly successful artists
encouraged the youthful artists to enter the field of
professional art while they gave demonstrations of their
individual artistic techniques. Parents and art teachers
accompanied the middle school and high school students who had placed in their age groups in the Junior
Duck Stamp Contest.
As everyone watched, Seery-Lester did a quick oil
painting of a panda in an oak tree, then Garcia and
Earnshaw each demonstrated their very different watercolor techniques and Koury discussed the need to focus
on details using feathers and other wildlife artifacts.

"The program is designed to incorporate wildlife
management principles into a visual arts curriculum,"
said Steve Bates, DNR education coordinator. "By
combining two subject areas in this manner we instill
the idea of natural resource conservation throughout a
student's study.
"Only when we bring to the forefront an appreciation of our natural resources can we educate youth in the
importance of being good stewards of the natural world.
"I'm always gratified when a student who has done
well in a past duck stamp contest incorporates some of
the techniques learned at one of these seminars and then
does even better the next year," Bates said.
Based on the national program created by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, South Carolina's Junior Duck
Stamp contest is designed to engage students in a variety of curriculum studies while incorporating wildlife
management principles.
The state "Best of Show" design is selected from
among the 12 first-place winners representing all four
