Wildlife of the NC Inner Banks

If you like black bears, this is the place for you. The inner banks of North Carolina is loaded with wildlife. In this video we drive around in the van to find as many animals as we can.
We filmed bear, muskrat, vulture, geese, king snake, grackle, fox squirrel, turtles, deer, rabbit, cardinal, grosbeak, cormorant, indigo bunting, quail, otter, barred owl, heron, egret, turkey, and wood duck.

Yes! This area of NC is incredible. Even saw a Red Wolf while driving at night, on this visit.

Taking a trip to the Banks may turn out to be your best trip ever...... From Lake Mattamuskeet to Bodie and Pea Island your wildlife photography goes into overdrive!!😎👀👍

The area definitely warrants return visits! So much to see!

Thanks. The abundance of wildlife made it easy to find subjects to film.

They knew you were coming! 🎥 the otters! 🦦 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 & you lost me with that snake!

[@AlafiaHiker]

The otter was a nice find. I really liked the muskrats though!

Awesome video. I love the IBX for wildlife but the flies are horrendous!

[@AlafiaHiker]

I was convinced the bugs were going to be bad but I've been lucky on my trips. I went in late Spring both times. Maybe that helped.

There is so much wildlife. The Owls were amazing, and that one bear looked hurt, and was that a rattle snake?

[@AlafiaHiker]

There really is! Owls were nice and close. Definitely a bad foot or leg for that one bear. :( The snake was a Kingsnake.
