The Outer Banks after a Tropical Storm

10,000 Birds

Turns out, Monday brought more than a little rain, and we got soaked as we explored the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge along the ocean.

Birding beyond Brisbane

10,000 Birds

We saw several of the kingfisher family whilst on our trip, including Azure Kingfisher, Red-backed Kingfisher and Sacred Kingfisher. You soon adapt to the early mornings and early nights to coincide with the wildlife! At high tide the shorebirds have a protection wall where they can roost on green lawn and feel safe.
