Hi!
My husband and I are spending the week in Isle of Palms near Charleston, South Carolina for a week in mid-April. Having family in SC, we've been to Charleston before, including Edisto beach area so are familiar with some areas. We will be golfing and meeting up with family in the area but none of them are birders.
I am not opposed to going solo but looked at Birding Pal and didn't really see many options. I am open to a self-guided tour, but a private birding tour or birding guide for one day would be nice to help me with some of the tropical migrants I am unaccustomed to coming from the West coast. My husband is not a birder but I may be willing to coerce him to join me if there's more than just birds.
Some places I am researching to explore:
Audubon Swamp Garden
Caw Caw Interpretive Center
Botany Bay (Edisto area)
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
Audubon Center at Beidler Forest (Looks promising)
I'd like to stay in the low country/Charleston area but will have a car so am mobile. I will have my scope and bins as well as my scope adapter for photos.
Any input, leads, or feedback you may have is greatly appreciated!
