Birding in the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge

 The Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge is a great place for Birders.  You can take you boat or kayak out and explore on your own or try a guided trip like with Coastal Expeditions.  There are birding groups like the Cape Romain Bird Observatory that have planned birding events along the coast of South Carolina.

You can see Wood Storks, Pelicans, Ducks, Terns, Oystercatchers, King Fishers, Herons, Loons, Gulls, Egrets and many different species.  I saw a scissor tailed kite flying over Jeremy Creek this week, and not long ago saw a Bald Eagle down near the Santee River.
     

 

 SCDNR goes to great links to preserve the nesting areas of the birds on the barrier islands.  Because of this there is no camping allowed, and no dogs should be brought to the beach.  Bring your binoculars and camera and respect the protected areas.
