[Tweeters] Isle of Palms (Charleston) South Carolina birding resources

[Char via Tweeters]

I was there 8 years ago before I was even really a birder, and I was able
to join a bird walk at the Audubon Swamp Garden at Magnolia Plantation.  I
forget how I found out about it, but maybe you can Google the local Audubon
group and see if they have any bird walks while you're there? I really
enjoyed my walk there and saw a lot of cool birds!
And even some alligators!
