  irds
are vertebrates that are able to regulate their
body temperature internally and whose bodies are covered almost entirely
with feathers. Instead of having four legs, like mammals do, birds’
forelimbs are modified as wings, enabling most of them to fly. North
Carolina has more types of birds than almost any other region of the
United States. Click

In fact almost 80 percent of all species of birds found in Eastern North America have been officially recorded in North Carolina. Part of the reason for this is that North Carolina is located along migratory routes for many species of birds that spend the winter in the warmer climates of the South. |
