Last year Wake Audubon and the Museum led a trip to the Outer Banks that included an evening tour via boat to the Mann’s Harbor Bridge to watch the Purple Martins come in to roost, and it was a blast!! Over 100,000 birds flying in is quite spectacular. The folks at Coastal Carolina Purple Martin Society are offering this trip again July 24 and 31st.
The trip is an evening cruise out of Manteo over to the bridge and back. Besides birds there is a chance you will get a pretty sunset! You must reserve your spot in advance. Details below:
Saturday, July 24 (reserve by July 21)
Saturday, July 31 (reserve by July 28)
Join a guided sunset tour to the breathtaking Manns Harbor purple martin roost aboard the Crystal Dawn. Come enjoy the views, learn about the roost, and see 100,000+ birds up close!
