 April 21 – Neo-Tropical Migratory Birds ( 8 am – 12 noon)
Coastal North Carolina is a major breeding spot for neo-tropical migratory birds. These birds winter in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and make their summer home in this area. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum will offer a field trip where we will identify these birds by sight and sound, as well as learn about the biology, habitat requirements and life cycles of these well traveled birds.
June 2 – Colonial Nesting Birds (9 am – 1 pm)
Many of our coastal birds nest in a unique fashion. They will gather in large groups, and utilize uninhabited islands in our local sounds. These birds, such as pelicans, terns, egrets, herons and gulls are called colonial nesting species. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum will offer a class to learn more about these species. After a short indoor presentation, we will boat to some of the islands to view them from the water. Due to their nesting behavior, we will not be able to access the islands.
