birding news from North and South Carolina sponsored by the Carolina Bird 
Club. Highlights on this report include:

WHITE-FACED IBIS
CURLEW SANDPIPER
Pelagic opportunities

The WHITE-FACED IBIS at Nags Head, NC was last reported July 20 but may still 
be present. Birders on the Outer Banks should check the Old Oregon Inlet Rd. 
south of Nags Head at MP 19-20. Look in the roadside ditches.

CURLEW  SANDPIPERS have been reported from Pea Island NWR. Search through the 
shorebirds at North Pond and South Pond. Remember to bird only from the road 
when scanning South Pond.

There is room available on upcoming pelagic birding trips off the Outer 
Banks. Trips will depart out of Hatteras on 8-10, 11,24, 25 and out of Manteo 
on 8- 17, 18, 31, and 9-1. Contact Brian Patteson at 252- 986-1363 for 
details.

Thanks this week to Faye Metzl for her report. Some of this information was 
gleaned from Carolinabirds.
