Audubon North Carolina is one of six conservation groups that have called on the North Carolina Department of Transportation to build a safer, less-exposed emergency route for Outer Banks residents and tourists that is not dependent on the section of Highway 12 in Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge which was washed out last week during the remnants of tropical storm Ida.
Audubon NC Staffer Singled Out for Environmental Leadership
Angela Mangiameli, conservation biologist with Audubon North Carolina, has received a national fellowship designed to advance the work of individuals with outstanding leadership potential to help shape a brighter environmental future.
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.
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.
In response to members’ requests and in an effort to save resources (and time!), we have set up a giving page on our website where supporters can make various types of donations to Audubon North Carolina through our secure online system:
General support and membership donations
Recurring monthly donations with a credit card
Pearson Society gifts (Donors who contribute $1,000 or more annually and receive invitations to special events and trips)
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?
