Purple Martin Madness 2008 is on now!

The Outer Banks is home to one of the largest purple martin roosts in
the eastern US. The wildlife refuge lands and water systems surrounding it
support this spectacular roost of migratory birds. Come see 100,000 martins
in flight over Croatan Sound and learn more about the fascinating lives of
these birds and why they roost here. Co-sponsored by Alligator River NWR.
Meet at the new parking lot at the western end of the "Old Manns Harbor"/US
64 bridge near the martin house and informational kiosk. Bring bug repellant
and binoculars (binocs or scope are not necessary but will enhance your
experience).
