Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge spans over 11,000 acres of salt marsh, brackish wetlands, and pocosin habitat along North Carolina’s Core Sound. It provides critical nesting and feeding grounds for waterfowl, wading birds, and migratory species, including herons, egrets, and tundra swans. As you walk alongside this area, keep an eye out for osprey circling in the sky, mullet jumping in the shallow water, and white ibis in the marsh grass.
