Fish Crow

Open sand of beaches, dunes and the hollows between them.

Shallow ponds in Coastal Plain depressions, such as limesinks and the ponds in some Carolina bays, that rise and fall with the seasons.

Wet ground taken over by weedy or introduced plants after disturbance, such as common reed, Chinese tallow or tamarisk stands; the upland counterpart is roadsides, fields and disturbed ground.

Forests on low ground beside rivers and streams that flood from time to time.

Marshes along tidal rivers where the water is fresh but rises and falls with the tide.

Open, thin-soil openings and rock on limestone, dolomite or other lime-rich rock, including cedar glades.

Flat, poorly drained uplands and terraces with oaks, sweetgum and sometimes loblolly pine, wet in winter and dry in summer, but neither a floodplain nor a swamp.

Wet, open, peaty mountain wetlands fed by seepage, often with sphagnum moss.

Flat, sandy Coastal Plain pine woodlands, wetter than sandhills and denser than savannas.

Open, fire-kept longleaf pine stands over grasses and wildflowers on wet to moist sandy soil.

Dense evergreen shrub wetlands and bay forests on wet, acid peat of the Coastal Plain.

Still water and its edges: ponds, lakes, millponds and reservoirs.

Coastal marshes flooded by salty or brackish tides.

Planted or intensively managed stands of pine or hardwoods grown for timber; a land use rather than a natural community.
