Birds of the Roanoke
  • If you've visited the Roanoke, especially in late afternoon, you've heard the barred owls with their many calls, from the exotic monkey sounds to the "who cooks for you". Learn more about owls and hear their calls on this great site:

  • Click above to view great images of birds  by the late Cornell U. photographer Paris Trail.  
  • Also, be sure and visit the Sylvan-Heights web site http://www.sylvan-heights.org/  Located in Scotland Neck and taking advantage of Roanoke River resources, the Sylvan-Heights project operates in association with the NC Zoological Society. These birds are certainly not all natives, but it's an outstanding project and one any bird enthusiast will appreciate!
