Black Bears' Albemarle Peninsula North Carolina

Eastern North Carolina retains the largest concentration of Black Bears (Ursus Americans) in the United States. Very rural Albermarle Peninsula, a forested wetlands sandwiched between the Pamlico and Albermarle sounds to the north and south and the Outer Banks to the east, is an ideal place to observe black bear behavior and their habitat. In addition to the black bears, there is a diversity of flora and fauna, to include the critically endangered Red Wolf (only 23 in the wild) and the ubiquitous Barred Owl. I would like to thank Mark Buckler for his gracious instruction and expert guidance during his excellent Black Bear Workshop of Eastern North Carolina (Mark Buckler Photography).
