Synopsis

Discover the remarkable birds of Hilton Head Island.

From broad sandy beaches and winding tidal creeks to salt marshes, quiet lagoons, and maritime forests, Hilton Head Island provides an extraordinary variety of habitats for birds. This beautifully illustrated identification guide introduces many of the species visitors are most likely to notice while exploring this special corner of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Meet familiar coastal favorites such as the Brown Pelican, Great Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, and American Oystercatcher. Watch for the brilliant pink of a Roseate Spoonbill, the spectacular plunge of an Osprey, or the unmistakable silhouette of a Bald Eagle overhead. Venture into the island's wooded neighborhoods and discover colorful Painted Buntings, tiny Brown-headed Nuthatches, lively Carolina Wrens, and other birds that thrive away from the shoreline.

Each featured bird is presented with a beautiful full-color image, identification information, fascinating facts, and details about its behavior and life around Hilton Head Island. Organized into easy-to-browse groups-including shorebirds and coastal birds, wading birds, raptors and owls, and woodland and backyard birds-the guide is designed for casual nature lovers as well as beginning and experienced birdwatchers.

Birds of Hilton Head Island: An Identification Guide is a colorful companion for a Lowcountry vacation, a useful keepsake after returning home, and an invitation to look a little more closely at the remarkable wildlife all around you.

Whether you're walking the beach at sunrise, exploring a marsh, watching from a dock, or simply looking out from your own backyard, you never know what might fly into view.
