Enjoy the diverse bird population of Botany Bay Wildlife Management Area (WMA). We will meet at the kiosk at the entrance to Botany Bay then caravan around the area. We will stop at various locations and walk to see birds not visible from the dirt roads. The event is timed to allow a walk on the raised path through the marsh . The WMA also has woods, marshes and fields allowing for 106 species to be seen in March 2021. Please note that this is a very remote area as it is a WMA and there are no facilities such as restrooms.
You may pack a lunch to eat at either Botany Bay or you can join the group eating at Roxbury Mercantile (http://roxburymercantile.com/). This previous country story now has both inside and outside dining offering “Lowcountry cuisine”.
Participants may opt only the morning at Botany Bay or both. If you wish to only do Botany Bay, we ask you just let us know and provide your own transportation.
Be sure to bring binoculars, camera, hats, sunscreen, bug repellant, snacks and water.
