LIVING ON THE EDGE: BIRDS ON THE OUTER BANKS
September 11, 2007, KCE Library, 7:00 p.m.
2.25 million visitors flock to the Cape Hatteras
National Seashore every year. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer of these
visitors are birds, particularly the birds accustomed to nesting on the
dunes and the beach strand. In our love of the beach, we are pushing
nesting birds to the edge. Just twenty years ago hundreds of pairs of
Black Skimmers, Gull-billed Terns, Common Terns, and Piping Plovers
nested here. Today, none of these species has more than 13 nesting
pairs; but, if we preserve and protect the habitat, they will
return.
Sidney Maddock, who manages the Audubon Sanctuary
Islands near Ocracoke, and who closely monitors bird conservation on
our beaches, will present "Living on the Edge: Birds on the Outer Banks"
at the September 11th meeting of the T. Gilbert Pearson Audubon
Society. Come join us at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Library at 7pm
to learn more about these beautiful birds, the work Audubon has done to
help protect them and the current political fight over access to the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
