Hilton Head ~ Ecology of Brown Pelicans at Coastal Discovery

The Coastal Discovery Museum will host Juliet Lamb for this program on February 7 at 3 pm.  The Brown Pelican is an iconic species of the South Carolina coast, but until recently there was little information on their migration patterns and habitat preferences outside their terrestrial breeding colonies.  The talk will discuss recent work using GPS technology to study the movements of Brown Pelicans throughout the year and understand key habitat needs and risk factors for this beloved but little-known seabird.

The cost for the program is $7 per person and advance reservations are required by calling 843-689-6767 ext. 223 or online at www.coastaldiscoverymuseum.org.
