The Bald Eagles of Caw Caw Interpretive Center

Monday November 2nd
6-8pm

James Island City Hall
1122 Dills Bluff Rd,
James Island, SC, 29412


Join Master Naturalist and wildlife photographer, Colin Hocking, as he shares his experience monitoring Bald Eagles as a Bald Eagle Ambassador for Charleston County Parks.

The Bald Eagle nest at Caw Caw Interpretive Center in Ravenel is now entering its 10th season, and for the last 4 years volunteers of the Coastal Master Naturalists Association have been monitoring and recording nest activity. Colin will share his experiences, a little Bald Eagle natural history, and many of his photographs taken of this mated pair of Bald Eagles on their journey from refurbishing their nest through the fledging of their many offspring.

Colin is a wildlife photographer, President of the CMNA, VP of the CNHS, and volunteers for Charleston County parks as a Bald Eagle and Alligator Ambassador. He also volunteers with SCDNR and with Dorchester County Parks. As a lifelong photographer and a retired freelance photographer, Colin now leads photography workshops and tours, teaches photography classes for the Statewide Master Naturalist program and co-leads bird photography walks with CCPRC naturalist Kristina Wheeler.
