It is an excellent opportunity for our members to share their love of birds and the natural world with the next generation.

In June, 2021, a group led by PBC member Dr. Lynn Mosely spent 10 days discovering the bird life of Iceland. Iceland is small volcanically-active island located on the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic Ocean just below the Arctic Circle. Its location gives it unique geographic and geologic features and makes it home to a great variety of birds. In addition to spotting many life birds, the group observed glaciers, geysers, and (at a distance) an erupting volcano. Dr. Moseley narrates this presentation, featuring photographs by Ann Van Sant, one of several PBC members on the trip.

Gilbert Pearson Audubon Society, held on February 10 through the Zoom online platform. Curtis Smalling, Audubon North Carolina’s Director of Bird Conservation for North Carolina, provided an overview of bird nest identification, focusing on local species and those migrating through NC. Knowing some basics about nests can add to your enjoyment of birding and the birds in your neighborhood. This program introduced some of the various ways that birds have adapted to raising young and provided tips for identifying which bird might have built that nest you found.
