Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge
35.45 N   76.20 W
Tundra Swan show up each winter by the thousands. Over twenty species of ducks can be found in the winter as well. This is a very good spot in spring and fall migration for shorebirds.

Outer Banks
35.31 N   75.29 W
This is one of the best spots on the East coast for pelagic (open ocean) trips, especially in May. Go out 20-40 miles to see Cory's and Greater Shearwater; Black-capped Petrel; and Wilson's, Leach's and Band-rumped Storm-Petrel. Back on land visit the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
35.73 N   75.51 W
The "dune peas" attract birds of all types. Shorebirds nest in summer and waterfowl are here as well. Search the estuary and tidal creeks. Piping Plovers nest here. You may even spot a Parasitic Jaeger offshore.
