Beginning this month Waccamaw Audubon will be holding its monthly meetings at Inlet Square Mall, Murrells Inlet on the FIRST Thursday of each month- PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CHANGE IN DAY.
Meet A couple of the latest visitors to the Grand STrand
Join us for our Thursday November 4 meeting at the Inlet Square Mall, Murrells Inlet. The entrance for our meeting is on the west side of Inlet Square Mall next to Belks. Our meeting will begin at 6 PM with refreshments and the program will begin at 6:30 PM.
Our November Program will be about Limpkins and Island Apple Snails. Limpkins are a wading bird, normally found in Florida that have recently begun to appear in South Carolina, including the Island Green development near Socastee where they have been observed feeding on another visitor, the Island Apple Snail. While the Limpkins may be welcome visitors, the snails are not, so come and learn more about the relationships between these two exotic species.
Our speaker is Craig Watson, Migratory Bird Biologist at U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He also represents USFW on the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture, a joint venture of about thirty state, federal and private organizations partnering to restore and sustain native bird populations and habitats throughout the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture region. Craig will tell us about the interesting relationship between Limpkins and Apple Snails.
