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:

Tools for discovering the migration patterns of egrets included a solar powered GPS and seven of the species. The greatest contribution for the study, though, came from the unique migratory story each bird had to tell in this tale.

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.

September is the peak of the Broad-winged Hawk migration. According to Bill Sanderson, founder of the Mount Pisgah Hawk Watch, it's a very weather dependent migration. The Mills River Valley Overlook is ideal for watching the migration.

Abstract:

Snow bird, usually a descriptor for northerners who’ve moved south, is used here in reference to birds like Snow Geese. Flocking to North Carolina spots like Lake Mattamuskeet between November-February, Snow Geese prefer such areas because of land and water availability of plants like corn as well as the temperate winter weather.
