A Look at North Carolina Bird Diversity from the Coast to the Mountains to your Backyard.

This presentation will look at the varied reasons why North Carolina has such an impressive diversity of birds and how this diversity changes throughout the year due to migration and breeding patterns. Other factors relating to bird diversity, including ecology, evolution, topography, and biogeography will also be discussed. From the coast to the Piedmont to the western mountains, we will look at similarities and differences in the avifauna between these geographic areas and the reasons that you see the birds that inhabit your “backyard”. Please join us to share your backyard bird experiences with the group.
