Secret Lives of Shorebirds – Shorebird Stewardship Webinar

Tuesday, May 10, 2022 @ 5:30 pm

As the last of our Red Knots and other Arctic nesting shorebirds depart at the end of May, the beaches can feel a bit empty. But, tucked above the wrack line and in the dunes, drama continues to unfold. Nesting Wilson’s Plovers and American Oystercatchers are overcoming a host of challenges to successfully incubate eggs and raise chicks. These species are both of high conservation concern, and our actions can have a significant impact on their ability to raise their offspring. Learn more about the secret lives of the beach nesting shorebirds that depend on our backyards, and simple steps that we can take to help them succeed.

The Town of Kiawah Island’s Shorebird Stewards have joined forces with shorebird expert and biologist Abby Sterling. Join Abby for a talk that gives you insight into what’s happening on our busy beaches after Red Knots have departed for the year.

This is a virtual event. No RSVP is required. Just click the link below to join the meeting Tuesday, May 10 at 5:30 p.m. For more information, contact shorebird steward Bette Popillo at [email protected].
