This state of restlessness is commonly noted in migratory animals, especially birds. As fall approaches and instincts prevail, birds are compelled by this silent call to take flight to their wintering grounds. As part of the Atlantic Flyway, the Lowcountry serves as a predictable thoroughfare for migrating raptors and shore birds during fall migration passage.<\/p>\n<p>Exploiting the Center\u2019s strategic location, Zugunruhefest will afford numerous opportunities for observers, both novice and advanced, to\u00a0<strong>experience fall migration from an exceptional vantage point<\/strong>. In addition to onsite vendors and children\u2019s activities, the festival will include three days filled with naturalists, ornithologists, and educators leading\u00a0<strong>bird walks, flight demonstrations, informative lectures and programs, and more.<\/strong>\u00a0The festival will culminate with a panel of avian experts in a round-table discussion and reception. Significantly, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which provides over-arching legal protection for all migratory birds, is marking its Centennial this year, a fitting context and milestone to recognize as we celebrate the wonders of migration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When: \u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, Sept 15\u00a0\u2013 Saturday, September 17, 2016<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where: \u00a0<\/strong>Avian Conservation Center\/Center for Birds of Prey, 4719 North Highway 17, Awendaw, SC 29429.
