On Thursday, October 12th at 7:30 am, the City of Isle of Palms Recreation Department and Coastal Expeditions will host a free Serenity Sea Stroll & Learn – SC Coastal Birds on the beach (25th Avenue). The event is free for residents and visitors. The event will be held beachside at 25th Avenue (look for the RED FLAG).
This event is the fourth in a series offered by the Isle of Palms Recreation Department in 2023. During this stroll, Abbi Cochran, Coastal Expeditions IOP Manager, Guide and Naturalist, will share details about birds that are indigenous to the SC coast.
“Seabirds like Pelicans, Terns, and Skimmers nest together in large colonies along islands and beaches,” said Cochran. “The large numbers help them to protect their nests from predators. They feed on schooling fish.”
Cochran will also share details and information on Shorebirds that inhabit our inter-tidal areas and feed on invertebrates in the soil.
“Let your mind take flight as you walk with us and learn about our beautiful SC Coastal Birds,” said Karrie Ferrell, Isle of Palms Recreation Department Director. “Fitness and learning in one day! The ultimate mind-body experience.”
In the event of inclement weather, follow Isle of Palms Recreation Department social media updates. Rain date is Friday, October 13th, 2023, at 7:30 pm, beachside at 25th Avenue, Isle of Palms.
