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.

Davis, Nancy

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.

Kelly, Christine A.

Abstract:

There is a golden eagle population of 3,000 to 5,000 nesting in Eastern Canada during the summer. Around October they began heading south toward their wintering destination in the Appalachian Mountains. A number of them settle in the state's mountains. Kelly reports on the research being conducted by the Eastern Golden Eagle Working Group at West Virginia University by Dr. Todd Katzner and his group. In 2012-13, the group invited the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to join the study.

Hester, F. Eugene

Abstract:

Migratory waterfowl have wintered in North Carolina over the centuries. Following some mysterious, invisible pathway through the sky, the birds fly in from the Dakotas, Canada, and far beyond the Artic Circle. Hester describes some of these autumnal visitors, including the mallard, wood duck, northern pintail, American wigeon, and tundra swan.
