If you have never been to Francis Beidler Forest Audubon Center & Sanctuary, you won’t want to miss this opportunity – it’s well worth the 70-mile one-way trip! Matt Johnson, Education Director at the facility will be presenting at our SIB evening program on Wednesday March 27. He has offered to lead us on a guided tour while the Prothonatary Warblers are likely to be present. Last year in this same week, Matt’s tours saw 30+ species including not only the Prothonatary Warbler but also Barred Owls, 5 species of Woodpeckers, 3 species of Vireos and 5 additional species of Warblers.
As the walk ends between 12:00 and 12:30, participants may want to bring a lunch, snacks and beverages to “picnic” at the Center prior to their return to Seabrook Island as Matt reports there are limited number of restaurants in the area. Also be sure to bring sun block, bug spray, a hat, binoculars, camera and a scope if you have one.
If you are not yet a 2019 SIB member, you must first become a member by following the instructions on our website: https://seabrookislandbirders.org/contact/join-sib/. Otherwise you may pay an additional $5 Guest Fee.
Once you are a member, please register. All registrants will receive a confirmation letter on Wednesday, April 10, 2019.
