DIM THE LIGHTS FOR BIRDS AT NIGHT

Join us October 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. We'll have hand-on activities throughout the day to teach participants how they can protect and conserve bird species.

Light pollution and its impact on migratory birds is the focus of World Migratory Bird Day 2022, a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. Activities to mark the day will be held globally under the theme “Dim the Lights for Birds at Night”.

STAR CENTER UPGRADES GOING SWIMMINGLY

Renovations to the Sea Turtle Assistance and Rehabilitation (STAR) Center are nearly completed and rehabilitating sea turtles are moving into pools in the public area. Thanks to a generous grant from the Arthur L. and Elaine V. Johnson Foundation, the center now has an improved capacity to care for sick or injured sea turtles.


The busiest time of year for the STAR Center is the upcoming winter cold-stun season. Sea turtles, mostly in the shallow sounds, can experience rapid temperature drops in the winter, leaving them “stunned” and unable to swim.

These turtles are washed ashore where volunteers for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (NEST) respond, collect data, and transport them to the STAR Center for care.
