Birds are cool Posted Wednesday at 06:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:03 PM Has anybody ever been here? I am going to go to Bear Island near Charleston sometime in April. I can't find the hotspot on ebird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted Wednesday at 06:20 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 06:20 PM Found the Hotspot, looks great. 12,000 acres of untouched land! Supposed to be great for birding and photography! https://southcarolinalowcountry.com/bear-island-wildlife-management-area/ https://ebird.org/hotspot/L191760 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted Wednesday at 09:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:10 PM I was there last February on a trip with SC Wildlife Federation. Great spot. SCWF has another trip scheduled in a couple of weeks but it's booked up. https://ebird.org/checklist/S102491895 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it necessary to walk 7 miles to see a bunch of birds? I am going up there with my mother and sister, both non birder. My mother would be fine walking that far, but my sister would not, do you need to walk far to see a lot of species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted Wednesday at 10:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:59 PM (edited) My checklist above covers less than two walking miles, with some driving in between. Depending on where you park, the group had 20+ birds within 300 feet of the first lot. I'll mark up a map for you this weekend.

Zoroark Posted Thursday at 05:06 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:06 AM Good luck. It's definitely on the list of places I want to go in South Carolina, but it's a bit out of the way. I think my father visited there over 30 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago @Birds are cool, there's parking at Ti Ti Road, just off Bennett's Point Road (A). There's a wetland adjacent to the parking, and a large pond across the road to the east, both with plenty of action. You can keep driving north on Ti Ti. The stretch from (B) to (C) is open or scrubby on either side. Keep an eye on the owl boxes on the right (D); you might see something peeking out! From C on, you'll have ponds and wetlands on either side. Stop where you want. Be aware there are no public bathrooms. I recall the last ones were west of US 17. There's no place to get food or drink either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
