The world according to me....

Turtles, crocodiles, lizards, birds... they are all reptilomorphs. Therefore, participating in a bird nest count on Battery Island in the Cape Fear estuary system is nearly the same as working on sea turtles. We counted thousands of White Ibis nests, plus some made by egrets and herons. The survey required walking through areas thick with nests, causing many of the birds to flush and fly about for a few minutes before they returned to their nests. We also saw rabbits and snakes, not to mention oystercatchers and willets that also nest on the island. It was also a good chance to look for possible stranded sea turtles along the edges of the island. Fortunately, we didn't find any.
