Abstract:

The soft-plumaged petrel and related species (Pterodroma spp.) remain one of the most poorly known seabird taxa in the Atlantic Ocean. Study observations of petrels off North Carolina and other eastern states reveal the pelagic seabird to be accompanying flocks of mixed bird species during offshore migrations.

Abstract:

This study investigated the species composition of land-based birds at sea during migration. Observations from 1975 to 1986 documented ninety-six species from the offshore waters of North and South Carolina. The results offer evidence for offshore movements by groups of birds other than nocturnal migrants, and suggest temporal changes in flock composition.

Abstract:

For several weeks in early fall, millions of birds travel from their breeding grounds in the northern United States and Canada to wintering spots in the southern United States. Since coastal North Carolina is in the flight path of many of these migratory birds, the state's beaches are flooded with transients.

Abstract:

Reports of Canadian Goose retreating the Great North Way for Deep South go back at least a few centuries. It began with John Lawson’s accounts written during the early 1700s. With his as a touchstone, publications persisted through the early twentieth century. More recent sightings have been confined to the Carolinas, with locally bred varieties the last of this bird species.
