Join the Seabrook Island Birders for a leisurely walk around Palmetto Lake. The path around Palmetto Lake is wheelchair navigable and for those walking it will probably be only a quarter of a mile. As you may already know the egret/heron/ibis rookery has become very large and they come in every evening around 5p. Let’s go look at them before they decide to move somewhere else. We hope to see some of our resident winter warblers such as Yellow-rumped Warblers, Palm Warblers , Black-and-white Warblers and the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. We also expect to see a large variety of birds including Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Herons and birds of prey. Hooded Mergansers, Pied-billed Grebes and Buffleheads are back too.
Dress in layers and bring your binoculars and hats. There is a 54% chance of rain, but let’s wish the weather person is wrong.
