Birds & Butterflies of the Barrens

Birds and Butterflies of the Barrens: There are many species of uncommon song birds and butterflies in the Pine Barrens. Eastern towhees and pine warblers are active during the day and whip-poor-wills who fly at night are just a few of the birds that make their home here. In the fall, look for the rare black, white, and orange Buck Moth and the dark brown Pine Barrens Zanclognatha moth. All these animals have adapted to survive in the unique ecosystem of the Pine Barrens.
