Help the birds migrate! Turn OFF your outdoor lights at night!

**Lights Out Alert: Bird Highway Returns This Weekend**

Here they come! While the fall bird migration peaks in our area during September, an early wave is likely Saturday night. The wind pattern is perfect for the birds, and they will likely take advantage and move across the entire Great Lakes region. More than 200 million birds are projected by the Birdcast model. It is possible that the bird surge will be much higher than that number. The reason why is because Birdcast uses data from the GFS computer model. That model shows a good wind flow for the birds, but the European computer model shows a great pattern for migratory birds. Either way, bird traffic should be high, but it has the potential to overperform. Saturday night is a good time to turn off those outdoor lights to help this early surge of birds navigate south.

Snakes! RCRC has a few educational videos available for viewing now in our exhibit hall including this one about snakes. Don't worry, we don't have any live snakes in our exhibit hall but we do have a bunch of cool replicas that you can view and learn more about! The more you know, the more fun you'll have. Many thanks to Lion Nerd for his awesome video skills!

Help us update the signs along the Cashie River Boardwalk!
 
Skadi Kylander, a PhD student at East Carolina University, is working on a project to learn about characteristics that make trail signs interesting to visitors of this boardwalk, and to design new signs to install along the boardwalk. She has the flyer included in this post available at access points to the boardwalk, which includes a link to a survey that will be used to improve signs along the boardwalk at RCRC. See the flyer for the survey link! 

The survey should only take you a few minutes to complete, and responses will be kept anonymous. This survey should only be completed by visitors who are 18 years old or older and have recently visited the boardwalk. You will not be compensated for the time it takes to complete this survey. This research is monitored by East Carolina University’s Institutional Review Board.
