NC Birding Atlas
North Carolina’s unique geographic setting along the Atlantic coast flyway provides both breeding and wintering grounds for over 466 species of birds, making the state a premiere birding destination. Yet this rich natural heritage is largely untapped as an economic resource for promoting nature-based tourism. The North Carolina Birding Trail (NCBT) aims to establish North Carolina as a leading nature-based tourism destination. It serves as a driving trail to link birders and nature-based tourists with great birding sites across the state and the local communities in which they are found.
The NCBT is a partnership between six founding organizations: the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, Audubon North Carolina, North Carolina Sea Grant, US Fish & Wildlife Service, NC State University Cooperative Extension, and the NC Parks and Recreation. It is governed by a steering committee which includes one member from each of the six founding organizations.

The ABA’s education programs promote birding skills, ornithological knowledge, and the development of a conservation ethic.
