JoAnne Ibwell: EKtraordinary Educator A JoAnne Powell guides a group through a salt marsh on Rachel Carson Reserve on Taylor's Creek, she realizes she is missing an important piece of equipment. "This is one of the few times that I have forgotten my binoculars on a field trip, " says Powell, education curator at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. "I am out of my element. I love to watch birds." By Ann Green Even without her binoculars, Powell spots a sanderling running up and down the beach and a willet feeding on a mud flat. "We know it is a willet because of the white stripes on the wings, " she says. "Without the stripes, it looks like many other shore birds." Powell's enthusiasm for birds has become legendary around Carteret County. She initiated the first birdwatching program at the Maritime Museum and has taken numerous birding trips to South America. "JoAnne is an excellent birder and a great educator, " says North Carolina Sea Grant marine education specialist Lundie Spence. "She can wind a story between a bird, the island's history and its people. She gives a full story." Because of her interest in birds and boundless energy, Powell has been compared to a hummingbird.
