Tourist Guide

I spent the day near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina recently. The low-lying areas in the Refuge are comprised of fields used for agriculture, and canals that drain the area. This was taken along one of the canals in the refuge.

These are redwing blackbirds in a field near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Farmers plant crops on huge fields within the Refuge, and when they harvest their crops, they must leave 20 percent unharvested for migratory birds, primarily tundra swans. The blackbirds have obviously discovered this source of food, and can be seen in this area in flocks that must number in the tens of thousands. These birds were responding to a hawk flying nearby.

8.8/10 Excellent! (675 reviews)
The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing was the off-putting chemical smell in the room that irritated my throat. Ran to the local Walmart and got some Frebreeze to clear the air and that worked.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (7 reviews)
Excellent host, great location for Pungo Lake birding. A few suggestions: hot water in downstairs bathrooms takes a long time to show up. Also, consider removing throw rigs for safety reasons. Too slick/dangerous. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to return for another visit. MCS
