The Center for Birds of Prey opens
The Center For Birds of Prey is dedicated to the study and welfare of birds and their habitats and to engaging the public.
Besides being a place for visitors to stop by and checkout the wildlife next time you drive up 17N heading towards Awendaw, The Center For Birds of Prey will serve a substantial portion of the East Coast in the event of an oil spill too.
Some resident S.C. birds
- Ural Owl
- Black Vultures
- Saker Falcon
- Red-tailed hawk
Allow at least two hours for a visit to learn about raptors, from eagles and falcons to hawks and owls. The center offers a 50-minute guided tour of the aviaries and a 40-minute flight demonstration. Visitors can wander the grounds after the tour and visit the Owl Wood with its collection of owls from around the world. Demonstrations and tours are canceled or delayed if there is inclement weather.
