A really fantastic event today brought to you courtesy of Shellring Ale Works, Grounded Running & Dustbone Apparel! The Monkey 🐒 Run raised awareness & results in donations to BornFreeUSA, an organization who rehomes 🐒. And yes, I birded along the way 🤣 lots of Savannah Sparrows, Ruby Crowned Kinglets & a few Hermit Thrushes 🐦

We are so lucky to have such amazing local businesses who support our community & fantastic causes! Remember to shop LOCAL y’all! 👟🐒 🍺 🍌🙏

We were honored to have been invited to USCB and PIRLS, event last evening for the “Return to Pritchards Island” update. What an honor to meet so many dignitaries, researchers, students and hear Governor Henry McMaster speak. There is so much excitement around this project. 🥰

We have amazing talent, inspiring students and a very generous community who can see the vision of the potential for world class research. We are so proud to be a part of the environmental community and the future looks bright here in The Carolina Bight! Go Sand Sharks! 🤩🩵💙🐬🔬🐢🐦🐟🛥️

We get a lot of questions 🧐about the downturn people have been seeing at their feeders. It’s actually totally natural!!! 🫶🏻

There is an abundance of natural food sources available to our feathered friends right now & this is EXACTLY what we want to see! We captured this photo the other day, of a Yellow Rumped Warbler, enjoying a berry.

Berries 🫐, nuts 🌰 , insects 🦟 are what our birds are enjoying right now. This natural occurrence actually makes bird watching more fun & challenging for us bird nerds. 🥰 📸 🐦

But don’t worry, your birds will eventually come back to your feeders! Please be sure to keep them clean so they are safe for our birds when they do return.

Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸 to all the brave men & women, who have or continue to serve our country.

Since our inception, Birding Beaufort, proudly offers both active & retired military members a discount on our tours year round, as a small token of our appreciation. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Happy 249th Birthday to The United States Marine Corps. 🦅🌎⚓️ we are so proud of our own US Marine. Our proximity to Parris Island gives us a greater appreciation for the men & women who have or will continue to serve our country. We hope you enjoyed the ball son. 🥰

REALLY windy 🌬️ on the beach today! It was pretty difficult to keep my camera steady, but hey we love a challenge! 💪

I love this photo of a Black Bellied Plover admiring the surf. The largest Plovers, they leave us in the spring to breed in Alaska & The Arctic. We’re so lucky in Beaufort & The Lowcountry, to have these beautiful birds here in their off breeding season! 🌊🌬️📸☀️

You never know what you’ll see when you’re out birding!!! An absolutely tender moment that warms our hearts 🦌💞🦌

From my archives, a beautiful Roseate Spoonbill. Pink can evoke feelings of warmth, comfort & hope. It can also represent inner peace 🕊️ & harmony. As the mix between red’s ❤️passion & white’s 🤍 purity, pink symbolizes love, nurture & compassion 🩷

A sweet friend was looking through my photos & found this. It’s not technically perfect (this was in my early days of learning photography 📸) but it is a perfect picture in my mind. I think we all need a little beauty, a lot of kindness & a lot of love right now.

We went out yesterday with a returning client from out of state & it’s always such an honor to know people enjoy birding with us. And she’ll be returning again in the spring so bonus for us to bird with her for a 3rd time 🥰🩷🥰

Caught some Tricolor Heron yoga 🧘‍♀️ on the beach yesterday afternoon 🤣 Tidal pools provide sources for shorebirds & wading birds some extra fun while feeding.

Birding Beaufort pledged to donate 50% of our tour proceeds in the month of October for relief efforts earmarked for the victims of Hurricane Helene. We are honored to donate $326 toward these efforts. Every bit helps & there is still so much that is desperately needed. Thank you to everyone who took tours with us in the month of October, who made this possible.
Seeing the efforts that everyone (from businesses to individuals) in The Lowcountry have made during this time, gives us so much hope & makes us love our community even more than we could have imagined. 🙏

Jessica Lee Posey & her family continue to support these efforts by not only collecting, but transporting numerous times to Western NC. It has been a Herculean effort. There is a current Amazon list for supplies needed & we will be shopping directly from this list this weekend using our donation.
🙏💙🙏 we have attached the Amazon list if you are interested in helping!

Jeepers, Creepers!!!! Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 🍫 Despite the name, there’s nothing creepy about these birds! Difficult to find, we 🩷 spotting Brown Creepers making their way up the trees in The Lowcountry!

Brown Creepers search for small insects and spiders by hitching upward in a spiral around tree trunks and limbs. They move with short, jerky motions using their stiff tails for support. To move to a new tree, they fly weakly to its base and resume climbing up. Brown Creepers sing a high, warbling song; they also give a high, wavering call note that sounds similar to that of a Golden-crowned Kinglet. (All About Birds)

Fun morning on the beach, eventually got chased off by some drizzle. But, not before I photographed this beautiful Marbled Godwit with a worm🪱 We need rain 🌧️ bad, so I actually wish it was more than a drizzle. 🙏

A long billed shorebird, their long bills are used for probing into sand or mud searching for aquatic invertebrates. They are Great Plains breeders, but we’re lucky that they winter here on mudflats, salt ponds, beaches, estuaries & wetlands.

They are beautiful & entertaining to watch & The Lowcountry is the perfect spot for them with our amazing estuaries! 🦀🦐🪱

This is why we ❤️ birding. This is why we do what we do! It doesn’t matter what color, gender, religion, level of education, or your physical condition is; birding is an all inclusive activity. One of our goals, has always been, to teach everyone about the joys of birding. Even if it’s just hearing their sounds, or being outside.

The health benefits of birding are astounding. From raising your endorphins, lowering blood pressure, bringing you peace; birding gives you everything!

We are so grateful to live in such a beautiful place, where birds thrive! The ecosystem in The Lowcountry is so unique & there are so many opportunities to connect with nature. And we are thankful, that Birding Beaufort plays a role, in helping bring people together to enjoy the wonderful world of Birding! Thanks to Birdability for this reminder. 🥰🦅🦆🐦‍⬛🪿🦉🦋🐢🕷️🦎🦐🐟🦈🐬🌴🌳🌱🪸🍄‍🟫🌼🌻🪷☀️

Surprise 60th for the other half of Birding Beaufort last night, my husband John! We made forever memories with dear friends & family. The theme was sports & we asked our guests to donate to Tunnels To Towers instead of bringing gifts. 🙏🇺🇸

Shout out to a few small businesses like my friend for the custom NY Mets & Birthday Cookies!! She does an amazing job every time & I can’t say enough good things about her 🥰

John’s favorite band is VanHalen & he loved Eddie VanHalen. On Etsy thank you to for this custom 🎂 topper CRAFTCORNERXAA.

He’s also a diehard Mets fan and so is his best friend Lou who came down from NJ & I had a special Cameo by the infamous Keith Hernandez as the biggest surprise! John’s real birthday is 10/30 so Happy Birthday a bit early honey! 🥰💙🧡💙🤩

Accurate representation of how our life has evolved 🤣 but for the absolute better! 🐦

A lot of people are confused as to why they are seeing less activity at their bird feeders. Actually this is EXACTLY what should be happening at this time of year! Right now, there are plentiful resources like bugs 🦟, berries 🫐, nuts 🌰 & flowers 🌼 for birds to feed on. Yet another reason why native plants 🌱 are so important! The fact is bird feeders are more for our enjoyment at certain times of the year. Bird food does become very important during times when food resources aren’t plentiful.

We do recommend supporting businesses like Wild Birds Unlimited, who offer amazing varieties of seeds and supplies! Their in store customer service is top notch too! Don’t fret, your birds will return soon. 🤩

This gives new meaning to “the birds 🐦 & the bees” 🤣

A perfectly timed bee 🐝 photobomb of this beautiful Gray Catbird 🌼. They are returning to our area for the winter & these birds are unique in many ways. The main being that their songs can last up to 10 minutes! They love shrubbery & bushes to hide out in, and also love to feed on native fruit bearing trees and shrubs. We can’t stress enough, how important native plants are to our ecosystem and our wildlife. 🥰
