Spent the weekend with Atlanta Audubon at their annual shorebird weekend. The weather, the birds, the horseshoe crabs and the company were perfect! My friend Lydia Thompson was leading the trip that weekend. She took some photos of me teaching some of the participants about the food resources that shorebirds take advantage of during spring migration. Amphipods and horseshoe crab eggs were easily accessible this weekend! Thanks for the photos Lyd!

I've been working with the Sapelo NERR for a number of years and back in 2003 I started the Georgia Sea Turtle Conservation Teacher Workshop. After that came Georgia Shorebirds Conservation Teacher Workshop, Marine Mammals of Coastal Georgia, Coastal Ecology, Coastal Concerns, and Barrier Island Habitats Teacher Workshops. Fall/winter is my target time frame for running Shorebirds, and this year we'll be hosting 12 educators from Friday evening, Nov 21 to Sunday afternoon Nov 23. I've included the registration flyer with details below. Please contact me with questions and/or to request a registration form. The Sapelo NERR workshops are open to educators of all levels and disciplines. Please share this with anyone who may be interested in this workshop. Hope you can join us!

Early morning on East Beach, St. Simons Island with an eager group of folks wanting to learn about the wonders of the beach! This was a Road Scholar group and one of the participants shared her blog about the weeks adventures. The photos highlight some of what we see and do on one of my beach explorations- always full of surprises!

Since 1999 I've been working with the Road Scholar program as the naturalist for the 3 Barrier Islands program. I've been fortunate to share what I know and love with so, so many wonderful people that I have gotten to know over the years. And, I finally made it on u-tube, albeit just a few moments! I'm the one on the beach and in the marsh holding the shells and the terrapin--awesome office supplies!!

Go "island hopping" to experience firsthand the rich history and ecology of three barrier islands, from Civil War-era forts and lighthouses to the lavish mil...
