Spring Birding Days 2010
Little St. Simons Island is pleased to announce this year’s line-up of guest ornithologists for Spring Birding Days 2010! The event will take place from April 16 – 23, 2010. The guest birders featured this year will be John Sill, author and illustrator; Scott Weidensaul, author; and Tim Keyes, Wildlife Biologist with the Georgia DNR.
Spring Birding Days is a wonderful time for beginner to advanced birders to explore the many habitat types found on LSSI alongside others who are passionate about birds. The variety and abundance of birds is plentiful in April as migration north is underway. Shorebirds, wading birds, birds of prey, warblers, and other songbirds can be found moving through the island in the Spring. LSSI is an important stop-over area for many birds traveling north who need a place to rest and refuel.
While the focus of Spring Birding Days is mainly on birds and their conservation, it is also a great opportunity to experience all the different types of wildlife found on the island as well. While out birding, we often encounter other wildlife such as interesting mammals, insects, and flora.
Be sure to call 912-638-7472 to book your stay during Spring Birding Days! This wonderful and exciting time of year fills up quickly!
