Outer Banks
what an entree to the Atlantic
bill fish, bald headed eagle, and turtles
Outer Banks
bald headed eagle skewers me
with a fury eye
Outer Banks
a few steps in the ocean cheered on
by a roaring shimmering atlantic
Outer Banks
i join a sea of creatures cheered on
by a roaring shimmering atlantic
Lining the North Carolina coast, the Outer Banks consists of barriers of sand 130 miles long and never more than a few miles wide. These islands serve as welcome mats to the Atlantic and all her treasures. Forage the sea for a bounty of bill fish, wahoo, and mahi mahi, or walk the wild dunes, a naturalist's playground. Close to 400 species of birds, from native Carolina wrens to wintering bald eagles, can be found here, along with otters and sea turtle colonies. Add four lighthouses and you have yourself a seaworthy destination that even a pirate like Blackbeard (a former resident) could call home.
