Take a day trip south to Awendaw’s Avian Conservation Center/Center for Birds of Prey for a special program. Often underappreciated, the vulture is an avian scavenger. See these native birds up close and learn about how declines in their populations around the world is affecting human health, how they can eat rotting meat without getting sick and why they don’t have feathers on their heads. You can even watch them interact as they dine at a “Vulture Restaurant.”
