Besides being beautiful, colorful, and entertaining to watch, birds connect us to nature, to each other, and to other areas of the planet! Did you know that some bird species that we see in South Carolina fly here from as far away as the Arctic and the southern tip of South America? The hummingbirds and many of the warblers we see in the spring and summer spend their winters in Central America. With so many migrating species, it is imperative that we work together to protect bird habitat all along their routes. Our programs aim to protect and enhance bird habitat and train people of all ages to contribute to citizen science to help biologists track bird populations.
