AUDUBON NATURE FESTIVAL ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND

MAY 18 AND 19, 2002

Here’s a Festival you won’t want to miss!   The Audubon Nature Festival
on Hilton Head Island will be held on May 18 and 19, 2002 at Shelter Cove
Community Park.  This is a Festival for the whole family – bring your
spouse, kids and grandkids and arouse in them your passion for birding
and nature.

Our Festival grounds will be F R E E and open from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm
on both days.  Georgia Southern University will enrapture you with their
raptors.  Not only will they have flight demonstrations but will also
display the birds during the weekend - what a photo op!  GSU will also
present a talk on falconry and conduct a telemetry hunt for older
children.  Our Festival grounds will also feature “Things With Wings” (a
musical puppet show), and a musical geography lesson complete with
costume changes and unique stringed instruments.  Butterfly Kingdom will
talk on “Spiders and Their Relatives” (with touchable spiders) and
“Butterflies of the Low Country”.  Our local Art League and Camera Club
will be displaying and selling their nature-related artwork.  Our
exhibitors include Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, S.C. Association
of Naturalists, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and many other
conservation organizations.

We will have early morning bird walks at four different locations,
including a trip to Webb Wildlife Management Area, one of the few
remaining spots to spot the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker.  Other
walks will be at Pinckney Island NWR, Sea Pines Forest Preserve, and Port
Royal Mud Flats, one of the premier shorebird feeding and roosting areas
in SC.  Other nature walks will be offered, or take our beach walk and
learn about all the critters along the shore.

Boat and kayak trips will be offered to see birds and dolphins, or to
experience the wonder of thousands of birds feeding on horseshoe crab
eggs.  

Please help us spread the word about this unique, educational and
fun-filled weekend.
