We joined Mr. Wood of the Audubon Society for a morning of bird watching and a beach walk on Wrightsville Beach to discuss our role in protecting coastal Carolina and our feathered brothers and sisters.
Fun Fact: When a male Lest Tern (below) has a fish in its mouth, it is his way of attracting a female.
We met a curator of the Maritime Museum and discussed the role of pirates in North Carolina. Students learned about famous captains Gentleman Jack and Blackbeard.
Shocking Fact: Captain Blackbeard never killed anyone. There were also female pirates on the crew of Captain Jack Calico. One of these female pirates was the Captain's lover and she dressed as a man to hide her gender from the rest of the crew.
We ended our day with a team challenge at the Aquatic Center.
Fact: The octopus does not have bones and it really does squirt out ink!
