Abstract:

North Carolina is home to both resident and migrant birds throughout the year. Some birds, such as Blue Jays, are permanent residents of the state, while others, like the Prothonotary Warbler are migrants who fly to Central and South America for the winter. Other birds, like the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker migrate from Canada to North Carolina for the winter. This article describes a number of these birds and details their navigational abilities.
