coastal birding tour
​
september 26-27, 2020

Roseate Spoonbill
​

igel coastal birdwatching tour

A private trip for IGEL members and guests.

Minimum Attendees: 10
Maximum Attendees: 15

​Georgia Audubon and IGEL are excited to partner on an exciting trip to our own Golden Isles. Join Georgia Audubon's Director of Conservation, Adam Betuel, for this unique, two-part workshop and coastal trip highlighting the southbound shorebird migration and exciting diversity the Georgia Bight holds. Thousands of migrating shorebirds rely on our very own Georgia coast, including Red Knots, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Short-billed Dowitchers, Marbled Godwits, Ruddy Turnstones, and more! This area also provides vital habitat for breeding shorebirds like Wilson's Plover and American Oystercatchers and has even been recognized as a landscape of importance by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network.

Part I:  This two-part event begins with a virtual workshop on shorebird identification and conservation, to be held on September 16 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Please be sure to register separately for this webinar here. (Note: The shorebird ID and conservation webinar is free to IGEL members and guests. You may register for the webinar even if you are unable to attend the coastal trip).

Part II:  The coastal trip kicks off early on Saturday, September 26, as we explore some of the most diverse birding locations along the south Georgia coast. Weather and seas permitting, that afternoon we’ll take a boat trip exploring the Altamaha River Delta at places such as the north end of Little St. Simons Island, Little Egg Island, and Wolf Island Bar. The schedule also includes birding coastal hotspots such as Jekyll Island and Altamaha Waterfowl Management Area.

​Registration fee does NOT include travel, lodging, or food expenses.
