South Carolina Coverage
Savannah River Lowcountry Duck Migration Forecast
Jasper, Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell and Bamberg: the Savannah River swamps and bottoms, old rice fields and tidal fresh marsh near the coast, and the Salkehatchie.
When Savannah River Lowcountry peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the wood duck peak here around mid December. Savannah River Lowcountry carries its own season curve rather than sharing South Carolina's statewide one, because the timing here genuinely differs from the rest of the state. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
What DuckCast watches upstream of Savannah River Lowcountry
5 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Lake Norman, Asheville, Jordan Lake, Knoxville, Roanoke River. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Locations stay generalized
