I had an excellent trip this past Thursday & Friday leading a private birding tour in the OBX. With 11 checklists in 2 days, it was an absolute blast getting out to the coast to see some interesting birds.

Here’s a shot of two of the most common species we saw, a Willet and a Sanderling.
I spotted these two dodging the waves on Pea Island. It was interesting to watch them hunt for tiny crustaceans in the sand. They are so quick!

Wether your an experienced or novice birder, the Pea Island offers excellent bird watching opportunities all year round. The refuge is home to over 400 species of resident and migratory species of birds ranging from raptors, warblers and sparrows to ducks, swans, herons and shorebirds.

I’m looking forward to making a return trip here this November to catch some cool new waterfowl which will stop here during autumn migration.
Wanna join me?
