SIB Explores: Wings Over Beaufort

You’ve read numerous “SIB Travel” blogs about birding trips taken by members. SIB members often hear about bird walks, festivals or tours that may interest others but not an official SIB activity. If you hear of something, let us know by sending the information to SeabrookIslandBirders@gmail.com. You can share, even if you don’t plan to attend. When possible, we’ll create a blog to share the information.

The organizers of this event in Beaufort sent this information to SIB with the thought that some of our members may be interested.
