Mixed flock of herons and egrets in salt marsh pond - stock photo
A vast congregation of herons and egrets wades through the shallow waters of a salt marsh pond at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, a critical sanctuary for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway. This refuge, a barrier island ecosystem shaped by wind and tide, provides essential habitat for wading birds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. However, rising sea levels and increasing storm intensity threaten these fragile wetlands, forcing conservationists to work against time to protect the dynamic coastal habitats that sustain such remarkable biodiversity.
