It's no surprise that people often turn to our biologists when they have bird questions. And we try our best to answer them. When we get a question that we think will interest people all over the state, we post them on our website. Enjoy this month's Best Bird Q & A, which arrived in early November:
Q: Over the past several weeks our suet feeders have not been emptied by our feathered friends. Is there something going on?
Whether you're interested in birding, photography, kayaking, or history, you're sure to find a trip or workshop of interest at this year's Wings over Water Wildlife Festival. This annual Celebration of Wildlife & Wildlands in Eastern North Carolina takes place from November 3-8, 2009. The event offers an incredible variety of happenings, from owl prowls to photography workshops. Be sure to visit the website, learn more, and register for this one-of-a-kind celebration.
Rare Birds and Sea Turtles are Thriving at Cape Hatteras National Seashore
As the 2009 nesting season ends at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, National Park Service reports indicate rare birds and sea turtles benefited in the second breeding season after an April 2008 consent agreement increased park protections for baby birds and sea turtles endangered by off-road vehicles.
We need your help in fighting the latest maneuver that threatens imperiled birds and sea turtles at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Legislation has been introduced into the U.S. Senate and House that would withdraw national park protections for baby birds and sea turtles in danger from off-road vehicles. Wildlife at the Seashore is thriving under the new science-based management plan and we do not want to turn back the clock on this progress.
Visit our action center now to help us keep a balanced management plan in place at Cape Hatteras.
