April Calendar of Events for Seabrook Island Birders (SIB)
Do you have an interest in birds? If you haven’t joined Seabrook Island Birders (SIB), this is a great time to join as we have a lot of great activities. Have you looked at the SIB Calendar on our website recently? Besides the many regularly scheduled bird walks you can take off-island with Charleston County Parks & Recreation, SIB has scheduled several bird walks right on Seabrook Island in the next few months. The first one will be next Thursday April 21 at Camp St. Christopher. We ask that you register for our SIB events in advance as we have a limited number of spaces for each (see below).
Finally, we hope to see you at our 2nd Quarterly Evening Program on Wednesday April 27th, which will feature a speaker from The Center for Birds of Prey along with a flight demonstration.
Joining is easy – click here for more information.
Thanks!
