As you may know, Seabrook Island Birders (SIB) are residents, renters and guests of Seabrook Island, SC, who have an interest in learning, watching, and protecting the incredible variety of birds and habitats that are on our beautiful island. Our organization is in its 6th year of operation and we now have more than 300 members who are enjoying our activities, programs and communications.

Whether you’ve been a long time SIB member or are new to Seabrook and the birds we enjoy, we are looking for volunteers.

We need people with a variety of skills who have as little or as much time to assist us. Here are some ideas:

Do you like to write and/or research? We are looking for people to help with our blogs and articles.
Are you a photographer? We always need great photos and short descriptions to share with our members.
Do you enjoy planning, organizing and/or working with spreadsheets? We have “behind the scenes” work that needs to be done so we can offer all our events.
Are you interested to learn about websites and blogs? It’s easy whether you are interested in developing new skills or can teach us a few things.
Want to share your knowledge about birds? We are always looking for people to help lead our walks and events both on and off island.

Whatever your talent and/or interest is, and no matter how much time you have to give, we can certainly find a position for you to help our group! The committees most in need of volunteers are:

Activities Committee: Plan & coordinate workshops, bird walks and bird count activities for members.
Communications Committee: Write stories to be used in SIB Blogs, Tidelines and The Seabrooker. Update Facebook posts and Twitter.
Program Committee: Plan & coordinate SIB Quarterly Programs for membership.
Executive Committee: Join the SIB board to assist with the overall strategy for our organization, take a role as President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer, lead and/or participate on committees.

Seabrook Island Birders (SIB) is returning to some in-person events. For the remainder of 2021, we will host Movie Matinees each month but alternate between in-person and Zoom. The in-person movies will be held at the Oystercatcher Community Center and will feature movies closer to 1 1/2 – 2 hours in length in August, October & December. We will offer a Zoom option for these in-person events at the same time, so let us know which you prefer when you register.

With the spike from the Delta variant and the potential for breakthrough cases, we regretfully request that you wear a mask for our in-person events, except when eating or drinking. We also request that family groups sit 6 feet from others.

As before , you are welcome to bring a pillow for comfort as well as your favorite snack and beverage.

Thank you!

Aishol-pan, a 13-year-old girl, trains to become the first female in 12 generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter and rises to the pinnacle of a tradition that has been handed down from father to son for centuries. While there are many old Kazakh eagle hunters who vehemently reject the idea of any female taking part in their ancient tradition, Aisholpan’s father, Nurgaiv, believes that a girl can do anything a boy can, as long as she’s determined.
