A large portion of the wintering bird population are located in or near the

Please remember, when visiting the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge that pets are not allowed on the West Side (Sound Side) of NC Hwy 12, as not to disturb the birds.

Old Christmas in Rodanthe 2023

 MERRY OLD CHRISTMAS!

JANUARY 6TH 2023

Old Christmas has been celebrated on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for many many years. The small seaside village of Rodanthe, on Hatteras Island comes alive with the excitement anticipating the arrival of "Buck" and the Island traditions of this holiday.

Having such a long history including an extensive archive of images on this Rodanthe community event, there is truly little to add, other than a Google search will provide numerous results.

As Old Christmas is celebrated today and into the night, the true meaning of the holiday also known as the Twelfth Night, when the Kings arrived at the manger where Jesus was born, will conclude the Holiday Season for many.

Have a Very Merry Old Christmas,

Outer Banks Whitetail Deer near the Bodie Island Lighthouse

 

photo by https://www.seasidephotography.com/
At dusk, when you are out looking at the Christmas lights this time of year on the Outer Banks of NC, don't forget to stop by the Bodie Island Lighthouse to see the historic nightly revolving light of the Bodie Island Lighthouse.

On the way, be mindful of the sides of the road leading to the Bodie Island Lighthouse, as you may sees a number of Island Deer. Whitetail Deer populate the islands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Do you think these local Deer know Santa?

Whitetail Deer are viewable at dusk and dawn throughout the Outer Banks of NC.

Kites Flying High at Wright Brother National Memorial

Wright Brothers National Memorial - photo by Seaside Photography


Tuesday, October 11th, 2022, was a beautiful day on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The sun was shining, and the wind provided the perfect conditions for flying kites.

Brightly colored assorted-shaped kites soaring high in the blue sky could be seen for miles as people approached the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina.
 
The weather conditions seen yesterday are a standard on the Outer Banks, which drew the Wright Brothers to this strip of beach dunes back in 1903. The Wright Brothers achieved the first flight on the Wright Flyer on this very spot of the Outer Banks on December 17th, 1903.

With the kites flying so high in the blue sky, it was like a reminder that in one month, Friday, November 11th, 2022, Veterans Day will be celebrated at the Wright Brothers National Memorial. In addition, Veterans Day is a free admission day to the public, so mark your calendar today.

Wright Brothers National Memorial is Pet-Friendly. Dogs must be on a leash not to exceed six feet. Please clean up after your pet.
