 There is a very good web site that maintains a lot of information including
bird lists and rare bird alerts. The link is: http://www.carolinabirdclub.org
and I encourage you to go there.
The bird list below excludes birds that have fewer than 10 recorded
sightings and I have highlighted the birds that are extremely common in our area
near Whiteville, North Carolina, which is about 60 miles from the coast.
We will be fine-tuning this list over time, so you may see changes in it.
