Pocosin Lakes 國家野生動物保護區

Bare Bear Feet!

Walking near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, it is easy to spot lots of tracks left by the resident wildlife. Black bears are quite abundant in this area, and are actually more common in this part of eastern North Carolina than they are in the Great Smoky Mountains.

I didn't actually see the bear, but these tracks were quite fresh.
Each winter, tens of thousands of tundra swans migrate from the arctic regions of Alaska and western Canada to eastern North Carolina. I spent the day near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge recently, an area where the tundra swans congregate in large numbers. Farmers plant crops on huge fields within the Refuge, and when they harvest their crops, they must leave 20 percent unharvested for the birds. The swans spend their days traveling from field to field foraging. They spend their nights on the water, where they are safe from predators. 

It took a few attempts to get a shot with the moon and some swans, but I finally got this shot.
I spent the day near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina recently. The low-lying areas in the Refuge are comprised of fields used for agriculture, and canals that drain the area. This was taken along one of the canals in the refuge.
 These are redwing blackbirds in a field near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Farmers plant crops on huge fields within the Refuge, and when they harvest their crops, they must leave 20 percent unharvested for migratory birds, primarily tundra swans. The blackbirds have obviously discovered this source of food, and can be seen in this area in flocks that must number in the tens of thousands. These birds were responding to a hawk flying nearby.
