Fort Macon at Atlantic Beach NC is a great birding area no matter the time of year, but some times are better than others. A variety of birds can be found here year round with seasonal changes guaranteed. February may be the least desirable of times as the variety of species is probably at its lowest. Common winter birds of the area make up the majority of the species and shorebirds are at their lowest presence. On this visit I was able to see Mottled Ducks, Common Mergansers, and a few woods birds. This location offers a great combination of of seabirds, shorebirds, and a good flow of migrants in both fall and spring. This visit is just a few weeks early for the coastal spring migration. See pics below of birds I did see.
