 +
 
 +
It is a country of many mountains, some of which are over 4000 metres/13,123 feet.  A significant percentage of them are active volcanoes.  Some of the habitats here are tropical rainforests, jungles, and swampy mangrove areas. <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>

Should combining your birding efforts with fishing and/or recreational boating sound good to you, the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin affords plenty of opportunity with many reservoirs to include <sup>[[#Maps|[Map 8]]]</sup>W Kerr Scott Reservoir, High Rock Lake, <sup>[[#Maps|[Map 9]]]</sup>Tuckertown Reservoir, Badin Lake, Lake Tillery, and <sup>[[#Maps|[Map 10]]]</sup>Falls Reservoir.  As well, the Catawba River Basin, which cuts through Piedmont North Carolina, has along it’s length<sup>[[#Maps|[Map 16]]]</sup> Lake James, Lake Rhodhiss,<sup>[[#Maps|[Map 17]]]</sup> Lake Hickory, Lookout Shoals Lake, Lake Norman,<sup>[[#Maps|[Map 18]]] Mountain Island Lake & Lake Wylie.  There will be many potential birding spots along these chains.  A goodly amount, but not all, of the shoreline will be private property.  But as long as you are "on the water" you will be in an acceptable place.  In addition, good maps will be an invaluable asset.
 
  
====Public Game Lands====
 
  
There are a number of public game lands situated throughout the area that may provide the opportunity for good birding.  As well Public Boating Access points, with varying levels of amenities, can be found along both the Yadkin-Pee Dee and Catawba River basins.  The natural resources found in, and around, these places have the potential to lend themselves quite well to birding pursuits.  The regulation and use of these game lands, access points, and waterways are under the auspices of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.  Information regarding these areas, and their use, can be found on their website<sup>[[#External Links|[1]]]</sup>.

For those who would like to combine their birding efforts with some additional enjoyment of nature, the region has available the Yadkin River State Trail <sup>[[#External Links|[4]]]</sup>, a part of the North Carolina State Parks – NC Trails<sup>[[#External Links|[13]]]</sup>.  This canoe/kayak trail covers approximately 130 miles of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River through 9 counties, starting with <sup>[[#Maps|[Map 4]]]</sup>Wilkes County and ending in <sup>[[#Maps|[Map 5]]]</sup>Montgomery County, with multiple access points along it's length.  The upper portion is a quieter area more natural, bird-friendly area reminiscent of the river as it existed before the dams were put into play.  A canoe/kayak, binoculars, packed lunch, and map can combine to make a memorable birding experience.

Information regarding the trail is also available from the Yadkin River Keeper <sup>[[#External Links|[5]]]</sup>.

Collared Scops Owl

A resident breeder in the Indian sub continent, South Asia right into China, the Collared Scops Owl (Ottus lettia), family Stygidae is woodland Owl. It seems to be different enough form Indian Scops Owl Ottus bakkomoena, to merit a separate species rank. It has small éars'- (head tufts) and has s buffish body with streaks. The facial disc is whitish or buff, and the eyes are orange or brown. There is a buff neckband. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.

This species is nocturnal but it can often be located by the small birds that mob it while it is roosting in a tree. It feeds mainly on insects. The call is a quiet goog gook.

This species is chiefly found in northern India and is replaced by the very similar looking Oriental Scops Owl Otus sunia (recently split) towards the south of its range. It is very similar also to the slightly smaller Indian Scops Owl, O. bakkamoena. They are most easily separated in the field by their calls. (source Per. Obs, Wikipedia). 'Italic text'
