A new reason to gather outdoors is the inaugural Hammock Coast Birding Festival, which takes flight on Feb. 10 – 12 at coastal destinations between Georgetown and Myrtle Beach. This is the time of year to view wintering waterfowl, and a host of shorebirds and warblers that are visiting South Carolina. Trips include morning walks, boat rides, van tours and impromptu visits to birding hotspots in the Santee Delta and Murrell’s Inlet by attendees that always keep an eye out for bird life.
After spending time in the field each day, birders will gather to hear speakers each evening. Friday night at Hobcaw Barony is Dr. Lana Burgess talking about John James Audubon. Saturday night at Brookgreen Gardens is keynote speaker Peter Alden, a world-renowned naturalist, and author. Alden’s interests go beyond ornithology and include biodiversity, conservation, and invasive plants and animals. Sunday night’s speaker is Al Linde speaking about his experience with raptors and the Hawk Watch study.
