Page 8 of the Town of Carolina Beach’s November 19th weekly update revealed that Public Works “picked up several deceased birds” from Freeman Park.
We reached out to Assistant to the Town Manager, Sheila Nicholson to ask how many were “several” in which she responded they had picked up 20 birds and had contacted NC Wildlife who explained this does happen often this time of year because of storms and the birds essentially drown.
We reached out to the NC Wildlife for further questioning and had not received any response as of press time. We will follow up next week with an update.
