Sea Island Christmas Bird Count
The 9th Annual Sea Islands Christmas Bird Count will take place on Friday, January 3, 2020. The count includes Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Wadmalaw Island, and John's Island. Count organizer
Aaron Given, TOKI Wildlife Biologist, is looking for Kiawah residents to participate.
In particular, Aaron is looking for residents that have bird feeders and are willing to count birds that visit their feeders throughout the day. In addition, if anyone still has Painted Buntings or hummingbirds coming to their bird feeders, please let him know. If you are interested in participating,
email Aaron Given.
The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is a volunteer-based bird census conducted each winter sponsored by The National Audubon Society. This census
has a rich history dating back to the year 1900.
