Learn about bird migration in North Carolina. Migration peaks in spring and fall, but, in reality, there are birds migrating 365 days a year. When birds migrate depends on many factors, including bird species, migration distance, travel speed, route, climate and more. We’ll discuss who migrates and who does not, where they spend the winter and who nests here and who is simply passing through. We’ll also take a look at when we can expect certain birds to arrive in the spring.
