BHI Adventure Series: Birding in the Marsh
Posted By: Jason Frye
Posted: February 11, 2010
This post is the first in our new Adventure Series, which will feature a first-person account of a variety of expeditions, adventures and outings on Bald Head Island.
Morning on the marsh is a prime birding time.
On a cold Monday morning in February I found myself standing at the edge of the marsh on Bald Head Island, peering at a pair of great egrets through my binoculars. I held my breath, afraid they’d hear me and throw their great white wings wide and take to the cold morning sky in search of a more peaceful hunting ground. When I finally exhaled, they stayed where they were: knee deep in the marsh, hunting for breakfast.
This was my first time birding and Maureen Dewire, Director of Education and Senior Naturalist with the Bald Head Island Conservancy, had agreed to take me on one of their Birding BHI expeditions. She and her father, Bob, had spent most of Saturday and Sunday scouting the island and were eager to take me to some of the hot spots. The marsh between Bald Head Island and Middle Island was one of them.
“Yesterday we saw 58 species,” Maureen says as we drive slowly, one eye on the road, one on the marsh. “We saw two eagles hunting, I’d love to see them again today.”
