We are going birding in the OBX Jan 8–11. Leaving Jan 8th, stopping at Pungo NWR & Alligator River NWR before continuing on to Nags Head. We will hope that Rt 12 will be open by then, so that Saturday & Sunday we can explore the OBX, including Pea Island.

Debbie and Jimmy Shetterly will head a carpool/caravan for all who want to join us. Depending on the weather forecast, Wes and Sheryl may stay at Oregon Inlet Campground. Otherwise, we're staying at the Comfort Inn South Oceanfront in Nags Head, where we have a group rate (details above).
