Brad Dalton, Audubon South Carolina
Audubon South Carolina always has something exciting going on, from the daily boardwalk tours and monthly nightwalks at Beidler Forest, to trail rides and stork-watching at Silver Bluff. Check back to this event list often, because we sometimes have a great birding opportunity come up unexpectedly - like our outing to Allendale where we watched over a hundred Swallow-tailed Kites soar overhead and dive for a breakfast of June bugs.

| Great Backyard Bird Count | (Statewide) | February 15-18 2013 |
| The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds. Participants tally the highest number of birds of each species seen together at any one time. | ||
