Birds of Conestee
Birds of a feather flock…to Conestee! More bird species are spotted here than any other place in Greenville County, 226 and counting!
Why so many bird species? Diversity of habitats, Conestee’s location along the Atlantic flyway (a migration route some birds take in spring and fall), and even the fact that this “world apart” is surrounded by development play a role.
Ever been on a road trip along a desolate highway, and there's one great town between home and your destination? Anticipation of that stop gets you through the first half of the trip. There's a restaurant you can’t wait to try, and a quiet hotel with comfortable beds. That’s Conestee for some migratory birds.
