Locally owned Isle of Palms ecotour company Barrier Island EcoTours is hosting its first-ever birding excursion on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., offering guests a guided, immersive look at the Lowcountry’s rich coastal birdlife.
The four-hour excursion will be led by local master naturalist and avian expert Nicole Marie Pettinelli of the Charleston Bird Club, alongside BIET’s experienced naturalists. The tour will explore tidal flats and inlet sandbars during low tide — prime conditions for spotting shore and wading birds, waterfowl and raptors.
Guests will enjoy a boat ride to Capers Island, where they can bring a packed lunch for a picnic and explore the island’s boneyard beach, making the experience both educational and scenic.
Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased online. Follow BIET on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
