Migratory Birds Arrive
Migratory birds show up on Kiawah Island in large numbers during the winter months as they move south to avoid freezing weather. Beautifully colored cedar waxwings can be seen in large flocks feeding on berries throughout the Island. Yellow-rumped warblers are very abundant during winter, feeding primarily on wax myrtle berries, and are in fact the only warbler species capable of digesting these berries.
