The CBC Warbler Road Bonus Trip was a great success! Susan Campbell and Steve Schultz led (with de facto leadership cap given to Richard Hayes who helped find and get folks on birds) a group of 10 CBCers on a rain-free weekend trip to the Virginia Blue Ridge that netted 21 species of warblers. The main objective of this trip was to is see and hear Cerulean Warblers, which are less common in SC and NC than in Virginia. Folks were quite successful in that regard, tallying a conservative 56 Cerulean! (fb)

🍁 Get Ready for the CBC Fall Meeting in Beaufort! 🌊 Mark your calendars for October 2–5, 2025, because the Carolina Bird Club is heading to beautiful Beaufort, South Carolina for our Fall Meeting! Beaufort is one of the crown jewels of the South Carolina coast, and it’s a birding hotspot. In past meetings here, we’ve recorded 203 species—just shy of our record in the Outer Banks! Field trips will include legendary locations like Bear Island, Donnelley, Savannah NWR, and Botany Bay WMA—hallowed ground for Lowcountry birders. And that’s just the start. We’ll be staying at the Holiday Inn & Suites Beaufort—a perfect home base for our birding adventures. Start making your plans now! And if you’re interested in leading a trip, we’re still looking for trip leaders—please contact Richard Hayes at rhayes73@aol .com. We can’t wait to bird with you in Beaufort this fall! #CarolinaBirdClub #FallMeeting2025 #BeaufortSC #BirdingInSC #LowcountryBirding #BirdingAdventures #Birdwatching #CBCBirds #BirdingCommunity #SavannahNWR #BearIsland #DonnelleyWMA #BotanyBay (fb)
