When folks come to Little River Regional Park to bird watch there is no telling what they may find here. Throughout the year almost 100 species of birds can be found around the park. Little River Regional Park serves as a great stop over for migratory birds as well as provides breeding habitats for a variety of interesting birds. Colorful species like Yellow-breasted Chats, Blue Grosbeaks, Common Yellowthroats and a variety of warblers all call Little River Regional Park home during breeding season. During the colder fall and winter months our year round residents like Carolina Chickadees, Northern Cardinals, Tufted Titmice, and five or six species of sparrows can easily be observed. The park offers the bird watcher a variety of habitats to explore. Anytime can be an exciting time to come and do some bird watching at the park.
To compliment our birding activities, Little River Regional Park has constructed a half-mile self-guided interpretive bird trail. This trail weaves through a variety of habitats that is sure to produce something of interest for every bird watcher. The trail starts at the park office where trail information is available on the bulletin board which is changed seasonally to reflect different birding behaviors, identification, and interests. The trail terminates behind the park’s butterfly garden and encourages users to explore the park further.
Little River Regional Park is happy to announce its inclusion on the North Carolina Birding Trail (part of the NC wildlife Resource Commission). The NC Birding trail is a driving trail linking great birding sites across the state. We are proud to be recognized as a member of this trail.
