My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

For Monday's mystery, I asked how many birds can you see in shot from Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, S.C., and what are they?
I could see four birds — the same as Patrick Carney said. Peggy Woods saw six,which is a possibility, too.
The four birds that Patrick and I saw are Tricolored Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, Tricolored Heron and Tricolored Heron.
(Thanks Patrick and Peggy!) A photo with the birds highlighted follows.
