🐦⬛Winter is here and it’s the best time of the year to go birding!
One of my favorite destinations is coastal SC.
With its expansive marshlands, sandy beaches and maritime forests, South Carolina has a ton of great opportunities to photograph birds and other wildlife.
🦆From ducks to shorebirds, waders and geese, even spotting a gator or mink or two is possible when heading out into the wild with a camera in hand.
It’s my go-to place when I need to fill out my remaining birds needed for the yearly list.
Better still, SC gets a fair share of vagrant species throughout the winter months, so ya never know what kind of random cool rare birds will show up to pad the life list!
Plus the weather is generally pretty great, the mosquitoes are gone and most of the time the only other people I encounter in marshes and on the beaches are other birders or photographers lol!
Doesn’t get much better than that IMO 🙂
🐦⬛Want to join me out there?
Let’s go!
I’ve got a tons of group birding tours open for booking in South Carolina in 2024.
This is a great way to add birds to your list, hone your photography skills and connect with like minded bird obsessed folks like us who won’t look at ya crazy for getting excited to see a Clapper Rail sneaking through the marsh.
🦆By the way, if you’re not into the group tour thing I also offer guide services for private trips and bird photography workshops.
Gift cards are available & I can also accommodate tour date requests that you don’t see listed on my calendar as well.
Check the link below for tour info and contact details.
🐦⬛As always, feel free to shoot me an email anytime if ya have any questions.
I look forward to getting out there with ya soon!
Happy birding!
