Birdwatching in South Carolina’s Lowcountry
Since moving to South Carolina’s Lowcountry, I’ve been spellbound by the myriad of beautiful birds that share the coast with us—ospreys raising their babies in towering nests beside the road to my daughter’s school, roseate spoonbills wading in the marsh on my morning walks, eagles circling over my son’s tennis matches, and a constant parade of songbirds through my backyard.
The Smart Bird Feeder
The challenge, as every birder knows, lies in catching these moments. For that, a smart bird feeder is a fabulous tool. These devices use a small, motion‑activated camera embedded in a feeder to capture photos and video of birds visiting your backyard, which you can then watch at your leisure.
