A variety of berries are the main soft mast species that many wildlife species consume in the fall. Observing what animals eat and learning about those foods will enhance outdoor experiences.

Abstract:

Steve Atkins of Fox Cove Photography joined other birders in Western North Carolina after news of a snowy owl in the area spread like wildfire. The owl had just migrated from the arctic and was weak as a result. A bird rehabilitator captured the bird and is caring for the animal until it is well enough to be released.

Abstract:

In this article the author is talking about the importance of being goal orients in citizen science projects. One example the author gives is about the N.C. Bird Atlas which wants to log all of the bird species in North Carolina over the next five years. Previously stated would be the long term goal and the short term goal would be to have volunteers in the community to observe birds during the winter to log their migration patterns. Another long term goal would be to correlate changes in bird migration patterns to climate change. Another example given by the author was the N.C. Alligators iNaturalist project. This program asks that volunteer community members to take picture of alligators and to upload them into the iNaturalist mobile app. The long term goal of this project is to learn about the natural distribution of alligators in North Carolina. The short term goal is to learn about North Carolina alligators behaviors in different areas of North Carolina.

Abstract:

Knowing where to go and look gives nature lovers the opportunity to view endangered species in the wild. Weymouth Woods in the Sandhills is a good place to see red-cockaded woodpeckers. Viewing eagles in the Piedmont is best in the upper reaches of Jordan Lake in Chatham County. Red wolves and loggerhead sea turtles are more elusive, but the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is best for wolves, while Hammock's Beach State Park is good for loggerheads.

Abstract:

The 1980 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation indicated that 93 million Americans were involved in some form of nonconsumptive wildlife related activity. Billions of dollars were spent on feeding, photographing, or identifying wildlife. In a time when farm incomes are dropping, North Carolina farmers are turning to wildlife recreation resources for alternative income.

Every fall thousands of migratory birds winter in the eastern part of the state, attracting bird watchers from as far away as Canada, California, and Texas. The Wings Over Water Festival, held in Manteo in November, brings bird watchers together with the local community. Field trips to the Outer Banks, Lake Mattamuskeet, and Alligator River provide good opportunities for wildlife viewing. Other activities include exhibits, a photography contest, and kayaking lessons.
