For 10 years a pair of Bald Eagles have chosen Caw Caw Interpretive Center as their home when it comes time to nest and raise their chicks. The nest is located in the pine trees, on the edge of the marsh and historic rice fields. To help visitors see them better an eagle watch station has been set up, with park naturalists or Coastal Master Naturalist volunteers on hand with a viewing scope and binoculars. They’re available most days and are happy to answer questions and provide information about the eagles.
Our own SIB member and Coastal Master Naturalist, Melanie Jerome, will be working at the table on Friday, Nov. 20. Stop by and say hello, and take a peek at these beautiful birds as they prepare their nest for the upcoming season.
Caw Caw Interpretive Center is located at 5200 Savannah Highway in Ravanel. Park hours are Tuesday-Sunday, 9am – 5pm. Admission is $2 per person, or free for Gold Pass members.
