Outer Banks Nature
Posted by Rachel
The kids loved seeing the animals at the Outer Banks. On the first day as Abby and I were moving the deck chairs into place a frog jumped out and landed on Abby’s shirt. I was able to catch it for Abby to see up close. She was so excited. It was a bright green frog. She wanted to hold the frog. She held it for a little bit, but then it jumped away and off the deck. We saw many more frogs and toads through the week around the beach house.
Down at the shore line we saw pelicans and various kinds of gulls.
We also got to see ghost crabs at night and during the day. Zach loved watching the crabs and kept trying to touch them. Abby liked going out at night with us to chase the ghost crabs with the flash lights. There were so many of them at night. You shine your flashlight out across the shoreline and the entire shoreline would move.
