  • An endangered red-cockaded woodpecker flies in to his nesting cavity with a spider in in his beak for the awaiting chicks inside. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are an endemic species of the longleaf pine forest and were placed on the endangered species list due to the destrection of nesting habitat. Longleaf pine forests once covered an area the size of the Amazon across the southeastern United States. But today, less than 10% of this forest remains.

For this reason, as long as they stay curled up where they are put, they generally safe from predation.

  • A young harbor seal pup stretches out on the beach along North Carolinas Outer Banks Harbor seals are more typically associated with the beaches of Cape Cod than they are on Cape Hatteras National Seashore along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Thanks to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1976, however, harbor seal numbers have been on a steady rise as their population begins to approach preindustrial levels in the Western Atlantic Ocean. The result of this has been a steady uptick in seal sightings during the winter months across more southerly beaches. Typically, harbor seal adults will stay closer to their summer feeding grounds throughout the winter than the young pups and juveniles. Less adept and hunting, the pups will often follow their summer food sources such as herring and hake as they make their annual migrations south to Cape Hatteras. And as a result, many of these young seals can be found lounging on the beaches throughout the winter. Photo by: Jared Lloyd

  • A young black bear cub hides in the dense foliage of the trees while waiting for mom to return and call him down to join her. Black bear mothers, or sows, will send their cubs into the trees while they go off to forage for the day. Trees like this play the role of nurseries for young black bears, keeping them safe in the canopy of the forest. The cubs aren't always as patient as their mom wishes them to be, however. And after an hour or so, they get restless, playing with each other, or begin crying for mom. The sows will then come back to the nursery tree ever hour or so to check on the cubs, who immediately come scampering down at the first sound of mom's voice.

  • A young harp seal rests on the beach of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Harp seals are a pack ice seal and not usually found as far south as Cape Hatteras National Seashore. However, in the winter 2011 / 2012, there was a gigantic influx of many different species of seals that showed up on the beaches that year. Most often, it's the young seals or the pups that migrate this far south. Adults tend to stay much further north in the winter months, while the pups travel long distances as they pursue their summer food sources such as hake and herring. Photo by Jared Lloyd.

However, in the winter 2011 / 2012, there was a gigantic influx of many different species of seals that showed up on the beaches that year. Most often, it's the young seals or the pups that migrate this far south. Adults tend to stay much further north in the winter months, while the pups travel long distances as they pursue their summer food sources such as hake and herring. Photo by Jared Lloyd.

  • Harbor seals are more typically associated with the beaches of Cape Cod than they are on Cape Hatteras National Seashore along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Thanks to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1976, however, harbor seal numbers have been on a steady rise as their population begins to approach preindustrial levels in the Western Atlantic Ocean. The result of this has been a steady uptick in seal sightings during the winter months across more southerly beaches. Typically, harbor seal adults will stay closer to their summer feeding grounds throughout the winter than the young pups and juveniles. Less adept and hunting, the pups will often follow their summer food sources such as herring and hake as they make their annual migrations south to Cape Hatteras. And as a result, many of these young seals can be found lounging on the beaches throughout the winter.  Photo by Jared Lloyd
