Birdwatching in North Carolina Birding contacts and birdwatching information Local Birdingpal Contacts Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. Initial Last Name Area Available Language D Grosboll Asheville Anytime English I have been an active birder for thirty years. I would consider myself an expert on local birding topics. I feed the birds at my house with every feed our local birds might need. M Cooper Charlotte Weekend T McGreal Cameron/Sanford Weekend J Dole Garner Weekend English D Burnette Greensboro Anytime English/someSpanish/GermanFrench/Japanese Greensboro is in the approximate geographic center of North Carolina in Guilford County. While there are few rarities here, it is a good area in which to see nearly all of the typical southeastern bird species. Birds have been well documented in the county since the late 1930s by an active local bird club. I am a retired educator, an amateur naturalist, and a wildlife photographer interested in birds, butterflies, dragonflies, wildflowers, and other wildlife of the area. My wife and I enjoy showing visitors our little corner of the world. E Marshall Greenville Anytime A Rhodes Havelock Anytime English I really like photography, and am new to birding. The listed "local" birding clubs are at a minimum of two hours or more away, so it's not feasible for me to meet with them, but I know I need the guidance of an experienced birder. I'm a Marine so scheduling can work out to where I have free weekdays, but I can't really highlight "Anytime" due to the unpredictability of my weekday schedule. As far as being located next to major birding areas goes, I live in the North Carolina Outer Banks so there's tons of places to bird where I live. S Teague Hickory Anytime D Martin Hickory Anytime English I am a park ranger for Catawba County in the foothills of NC. I am also a bird bander.
