BALD HEAD ISLAND IN APRIL

4/16/2017

0 Comments

 
Glyn and I spent a few days this past week with our son and his family at Bald Head Island, one of my favorite birding sites in this area of the country. This tranquil island, where life slows down with the slow pace of the golf cart transportation, affords a great variety of birds, For a full description of the island, its history, and complete discussion of bird habitat and species, please see the main Bald Head Island page of this site. We are usually here in the summer months, so I was not sure which species we might find. I hoped to find that the annual nesting Painted Buntings had arrived, and expected to see shorebirds and wading birds. I did get photos of Painted Buntings, and the Egrets and Herons of the area, and Osprey,  but few other woods birds or shorebirds. I visited all the trails in the maritime forest, but saw only a few Cardinals and Yellow-rumped Warblers. If you have a chance to visit this remote island, you will enjoy its pristine beauty, and laid back lifestyle. my grandsons, James ad Jack love the golf cart travel, as well as the beach and great golf course and fishing for bass in the many freshwater lagoons. The pics below were taken over the four days we were there -
