Uncovering South Carolina's Shorebirds - Course Preview
Doug GardnerDescription
Coastal South Carolina is home to a large variety of nesting shorebirds. In this video series, pro wildlife photographer Doug Gardner takes you to the coastal beaches where he captures exquisite images of the these remarkable birds. He photographs fast-moving sandpipers and willets feeding on horseshoe crab eggs. He ventures into Charleston’s Crab Bank for tips on capturing pelicans, terns, skimmers, clapper rails, and more. Later, Doug crawls onto the slimy pluff mud to photograph short-billed dowitchers, black bellied plovers, and sandpipers. Whether in the golden light of early morning or in the late fading sunlight, it’s all about tips on capturing dramatic portraits and behavioral images of all these incredible shorebirds.

Feels like we've got a beautiful morning, Eric. Yep. This is the best one yet. Let's do it! Late spring in the low country of South Carolina.
This is one of my favorite times of year to photograph and one of my favorite places. We're in the middle of Charleston Harbor. And as you can see, we've got historical Charleston, South Carolina as our backdrop. I'm here with my good buddy Eric Horan with Lowcountry Wildlife Photo Safaris and today we're going to be photographing nesting sea birds on Crab Bank here in the middle of the harbor.
