    Biomass

    Biomass

    Woody biomass utilization is deriving energy from the trees and woody plants, including limbs, needles and other woody parts grown in a forest that are the by-products of forest management. 

    Wind Power
    Advocacy

    Wind Power

    Audubon North Carolina strongly supports properly sited wind power as a renewable energy source that helps reduce the threats posed to birds and people by climate change.

    Brown Pelican
    Priority Birds

    Brown Pelican

    In North Carolina, Brown Pelicans are found in coastal marine and estuarine waters. .

    Least Tern
    Priority Birds

    Least Tern

    Colloquially known as the “little striker” for its headlong dives in pursuit of fish, the Least Tern is, as its name suggests, North America’s smallest tern.

    Black Skimmer
    Priority Birds

    Black Skimmer

    Black Skimmers are named for their unique foraging behavior: Using their brightly colored bill, they skim the surface of the water, and when they come into contact with prey—usually small fish—they snap that bill closed. 

    White Ibis
    Priority Birds

    White Ibis

    White Ibis may be seen foraging on lawns or neighborhood ponds, especially in August after nesting season concludes, but marshes, swamps and other wetlands are their native habitat.

    Coastal Threats

    Coastal Threats

    Man-made efforts, including hardened structures like terminal groins, inlet modification and beach nourishment projects, upset the natural life cycle and ecosystem of the shore. As a result, birds have difficulty adapting to these unnatural changes and the loss of their natural habitats.  

    Coastal Engineering

    Coastal Engineering

    Coastal engineering presents a specific and complex threat to coastal bird species and their habitats. These projects eliminate habitat for migrating and wintering birds.
