In the beginning of January I’ve been to Pocosin Lakes Wildlife refuge near the coast of North Carolina. Especially in Winter a great place to visit because of the large amount of migrating birds
Thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds can be seen (and heard) in their fields.
And huge flocks of Tundra swans.
It is such a beautiful place to visit
And a great place to photograph. So much to see and capture by the camera.
Besides birds we also saw bears. Lots of bears…..
For those that think, that Petra is a very brave woman to go and see all this wildlife by herself…. I have to tell them, I did not. Not by myself 🙂 I went with a couple of friends and we met there with Mike Dunn. Who is a naturalist/photographer and knows the area very well. He has been coming here for years so it is a safe but most of all a very educational trip to see and hear all about this wildlife.
Pocosin is really such a special place. Perfect to visit to just get away from daily life and reconnect with nature for a bit.
Thanks, Petra. and great, as always, having you and the group along on one of my trips. You captured this place and Mattamuskeet beautifully. Love the new web site!
Thanks Mike. It is so much more fun being in Pocosin or Mattamuskeet than building a website 😉
Agreed!
Awesome
