| Anne
Springs Close Greenway [1] |
|
| With over 2000 acres and 12 miles of walking trails, the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Ft. Mill, SC, has the potential of an excellent variety of spring migrants as well as water birds. The area includes the historic Nation Ford trail across Steele Creek and several historic sites. |
| A wide variety of
birds can be found in the greenway's wooded hillsides, open
fields, old railway bed, creek bottomland and 7 ponds. The
largest of these ponds covers 25 acres; the other six range
from 1 to 5 acres. The bird checklist for the area, compiled
in 1995, identifies 160 species -- including summer and
scarlet tanagers, a number of ducks, 8 hawks, and 25 warbler
species. The Greenway's naturalist has asked our aid in reporting
species not previously included on the list. There is an entrance
fee of $2 per person. Although there are some rolling hills,
paths are clear and clean so walking is not very strenuous. |
