Outer Banks, NC
2008 Winter Field Trip
January 18th through January 21th

Back to the Banks!

Update as of November 6, 2007:
Forsyth Audubon is returning to the Outer Banks January 18-21 for the 2008 Winter Trip. In 2006 our intrepid winter birders found 132 species and we are looking forward to another great trip. Included in the itinerary are Alligator River NWR, Pea Island NWR, Mattamuskeet NWR, and Pocosin Lakes NWR, to include Pungo Lake.

The 18th will be a travel day and will include a stop at Alligator River on the way to the Outer Banks. Birding on the 19th and 20th will focus on the Outer Banks and the other refuges and the 21st is a return date with birding along the way as folks desire. That is the plan but we know some cannot get away on the Friday before this weekend holiday and that is OK too; all are welcome any time they can make the trip.

We are reviewing accommodations listings and have some further checking to do before listing a preference. It looks like most places will give a discount if we can guarantee ten rooms for the weekend. Birders will be responsible for booking their own rooms and there is no obligation to stay at the recommended motel; it’s just nice to have everybody together if possible.

We’ll get more info to you in a couple of weeks. If you are going to make this trip, please contact Don Adamick (at dadamick@bellsouth.net) by January 10, 2008. We need to know how many are going so we can prepare information packets and plan the outing. Thanks!

Please contact Don Adamick (at dadamick@bellsouth.net) for more information.
