    Thousands of nesting Royal and Sandwich Terns, Brown Pelicans, and Laughing Gulls greeted members of the media when they recently visited one of Audubon North Carolina's coastal sanctuaries. The sanctuary is a protected dredge island in the lower Cape Fear River that provides critical nesting habitat for birds that have been squeezed out of their historical nesting grounds. Thanks to the journalists for their wonderful reports, which you can view below:

  • Mason Inlet in the News



    Many species of beach-nesting birds, like Least Terns, only nest on areas of bare sand. If vegetation overtakes these nesting areas the birds may be forced to find new places to raise their young. Recent articles in the Wilmington Star-News and the Lumina News focus on how birds (and Audubon biologists) are adapting to the changing habitat at Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area on Wrightsville Beach.




  • Read the 2007-2008 Annual Report



    National Audubon Society has a widely recognized name that is often associated with “birds” or “birders.” For Audubon North Carolina staff and volunteers, birds are the lens through which we often view our conservation work. Our work does benefit birds, but it also benefits other wild creatures, plants, habitats, clean air and water, and all of us dependent on these resources. Through science, education, and policy activities, Audubon strives to connect people with nature and improve our quality of life. We hope our first annual report will help bring our work into focus for you, our supporters.
