The Grand Strand is home to a vibrant array of year-round resident birds as well as many fascinating migratory species. In this engaging lecture, we’ll explore the common birds of our region and the vital roles they play in our ecosystem—from controlling insects and pollinating plants to aiding in weed management. We’ll also highlight the powerful mental and emotional benefits of birdwatching, including its ability to reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and boost overall well-being.
Since 1970, North America has seen a staggering 30% decline in its bird population. We'll examine this crisis and discuss practical ways you can help reverse the trend. Learn how to turn your own yard into a bird sanctuary and become part of the solution.
