Birders have flocked – yeah, we said it — to South Carolina’s Hammock Coast for years to enjoy our unique coastal area that’s home, throughout the year, to more than 300 species of birds. Southern Living noted that the area is the best birding site on the East Coast, and experts at Clemson University have said the region offers the best birding opportunities in South Carolina.
Why February? Well, it’s one of the best times of the year for migrating winter birds, especially waterfowl. Our area also has locations where the increasingly rare Red-Cockaded Woodpecker can be found, as well as other birds such as the Swallow-Tailed Kite, the Rosette Spoonbill and more. Nestled between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, the Hammock Coast has long been a draw for visitors seeking a more laidback and nature-centric vacation, and birds seek out our area, too — either as an all-year-long home or a stop over on their trips north and south.
This is a rare opportunity to hear from experts who live and work here, offering an opportunity for first-hand experience about the birds that call the Hammock Coast home.
