The 2024 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition began at 10 a.m. on Friday, February 16 and I started out at Marion Square meeting some friends that were First-Time attendees. I made them watch the 10:30 Flight Demo by the
Center for Birds of Prey, and then we walked around to visit friendly folks in booths talking about conservation and tourism. The boykin rescue society had multiple little brown dogs in their booth, and elsewhere it was a who's who of sporting dog breeds on leash and enjoying a warm and sunny day at SEWE.

| Ducks Unlimited Oyster Roast |
Our paths diverged as I attended some Duck Unlimited events including a brunch with the DU board, and an oyster roast with the S.C. state chapter at the Charleston Visitors Center Bus Shed. At brunch the sweet potato biscuits and the shrimp salad sandwiches kept the waterfowl enthusiasts from going hungry, as everyone offered their hometowns with some coming as far away as Arkansas and Mississippi to be at SEWE. The evening oyster roast featured fresh, local, salty clusters that were readily shucked and slurped by experts and newbies alike. A buffet featuring shrimp and grits was the perfect seafood encore and then sponsors adjourned to the Camden Room to dine on prime rib and to get started bidding on auction items.
