Bull Island... Bursting with Birds!

As lowcountry locals know, the autumn and spring are the best times of the year to enjoy the outdoors. The temps are fantastic, mosquitos begin to die off and our wildlife never fail to impress.

Bull Island is no exception and is currently abuzz with some wonderful birds in Summerhouse Pond, namely the Wood storks, Roseate Spoonbills and American Avocets.
Over the past month, all three have been spotted roosting and feeding in and around the inland wetland called Summerhouse Pond... offering up some amazing birding and photography experiences.

Bull Island is open to the public and can be accessed by the Bull Island Ferry. The ferry runs on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and departs Garris Landing on the mainland at 9:00 am and 12:30 pm, and leaves the island at 12 noon and 4:00 pm. Please come and enjoy this wonderful opportunity to "catch" some fairly rare birds up close!
