Coastal Expeditions Presents: Birding in the Lowcountry

• Group size30 people

Tune into the wild rhythms of the Lowcountry in this beginner-friendly birding presentation by Coastal Expeditions. From salt marshes to maritime forests, the South Carolina coast is one of the most biologically rich places in the country for birdlife, and this session will show you exactly where to go and what to look for. You’ll explore iconic destinations like Bulls Island, a remote barrier island where shorebirds, raptors and migratory species gather amid windswept beaches and tidal creeks, and the ACE Basin, one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the East Coast, known for its vast wetlands, quiet waterways and incredible diversity of birds. You’ll learn practical identification tips, essential gear basics and ethical birding practices that help protect fragile habitats while deepening your connection to the places you explore. You’ll leave with a clear, seasonal roadmap for birding the Lowcountry and the confidence to step outside, binoculars in hand, ready to spot and appreciate the coastal wildlife that makes this region so special.
