Looking Back

Four months ago, on an icy January morning, tundra swans floated in the waters of the Pungo unit, Pocosin Lakes National Refuge. Most of the tundra swans and other migratory waterfowl headed out in February. Now, in the April spring warmth, we anticipate songbirds, warblers, purple martins, killdeer, Eastern phoebe and many more. The time of year affects what you'll see when you visit regional national wildlife refuges.
