Holy City Birding
Pop-Up Walks
Birding happens when the birds decide—not when the calendar does.
Some of Charleston’s most memorable birding moments happen unexpectedly. A flock of Roseate Spoonbills arrives. Shorebird migration suddenly takes off. A family of owls becomes active. Conditions are simply too good to wait for the next scheduled walk.
That’s why I occasionally host Holy City Birding Pop-Up Walks.
These are small, free bird walks announced only when exceptional birding opportunities arise.

What makes them different
✔ Free to attend
✔ Limited to just 10 participants
✔ Announced exclusively by email
✔ Locations selected based on current bird activity
✔ Led by Charles from Holy City Birding
Every Pop-Up Walk is a little different. Some may explore a familiar hotspot, while others visit parks or preserves I don’t normally use for public walks.


Why are they “Pop-Up” Walks?
Birds don’t follow a schedule.
Migration changes daily.
Weather changes bird activity.
Rare birds appear unexpectedly.
Instead of planning months in advance, these walks happen when conditions are simply too good to pass up.
